RDawson Posted August 11, 2019 #1 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I'm sure it's answered here somewhere but can't find it. I replaced the front bulbs with LED boards and the rears with 1156 leds. I understand the flasher mod to slow the flash rate so here is the question: with the rears having the resistance integrated is the .33 ohm resistor still the answer in the flasher or is that correct for front and rear boards? Here is the link I plan to use to mod the flasher. I don't want to screw this up since WNY is this week and won't have time to order another flasher. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=109028&d=1492947796 Edited August 11, 2019 by RDawson

RDawson Posted August 11, 2019 Author #3 Posted August 11, 2019 This might help https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?128835-LED-Turn-Signal-Mod That's the flasher mod I plan to use but it doesn't say if he had changed all bulbs or just one set. My dilemma is my fronts are all that are an issue so I'm not sure if my resistor value will be correct. I guess worst case scenario would be to change rears if it isn't right. Time may be an issue. It's been 30 years since I dealt with resistors and circuit design so I'm a little rusty. Not to mention without Radio Shack parts aren't available here.
XV1100SE Posted August 11, 2019 #4 Posted August 11, 2019 I did the run/turn/brake lights and had to add two resistors, one on each side to fix the fast flashing.
RDawson Posted August 11, 2019 Author #5 Posted August 11, 2019 I did the run/turn/brake lights and had to add two resistors, one on each side to fix the fast flashing. So if I follow you put resistors inline instead of modding the flasher itself?
XV1100SE Posted August 11, 2019 #6 Posted August 11, 2019 I used two load balancers. I didn't modify at all. See the tech article I wrote - https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?77681-Custom-Dynamics The link to the load balancer I used may have changed - https://www.customdynamics.com/universal-7-5-ohm-metric-turn-signal-load-equalizer?cat=59
XV1100SE Posted August 11, 2019 #7 Posted August 11, 2019 I wouldn't recommend the "posi-tap" connections. I solder and/or crimp on connectors.
RDawson Posted August 12, 2019 Author #8 Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks Don, at this point I'll probably wait til I get back from WNY to deal with it.
