flasher control

[Carbon_One]

This weekend I finally got around to remeding the fast flash of the led lights I have on the back of the bike. I had tried a couple of the load balancers in the past without success except for the last option I tried yesterday.

Anyhow I ended up using a Custom Dynamics Metric Signal Stablizer -- http://www.customdynamics.com/loadequalizer.htm#Metric_Signal_Stabilizer

I put the stablizer under the right side cover and attached the wires to the flasher. Works great now with a flash rate that is much more normal and consistant with the 4 ways and stock flash rate.

There is one drawback to attaching it there and that is you lose the self cancelling feature. I can live with that since I usually cancelled the lights anyhow. Old habits are hard to die.

UPDATE:

Today I realized that the turn signals are indeed self cancelling after all.

Well that's ONE spot I didn't think of trying the various load equalizers on my bike.. What wires did you attach them to? Which wire does what ect?

 

Thanks in advance.

Wired as follows:

Signal stablizer unit to flasher connector - function

1. black to black - ground

2. blue to brown / red tracer - power with key on

3. brown & purple (2 wires) to brown / white tracer - turn signal output

I tested with both brown and purple by themselves and it still functioned the same as it did with both wires attached. Rather then leaving a single wire hanging I attached both.

I took out the terminals at the connector, soldered the controler wires to them, and then reinserted the terminals back into the connector. Leaving a nice clean connection.

UPDATE:

Today I realized that the turn signals are indeed self cancelling after all. I don't know if they stay on longer or I was impatient on them going off.

Whatever now that I know they'll cancel I'll try to see if the flash duration has changed or not next.
