Turn Signal Indicators
#1

The turn signal indicators on the bike are hard to see. Honda for some reason placed them too low, should have been higher and an amber lens should have been used so you know when you turn signals are still on. I ran some leds up higher which are easier to see. I wanted to use the brighter blue leds but that would had made them too bright at nightime so I went with the green.

Thats cool i kinda like that. I definitely haven't realized I still had a turn signal on for awhile down the road sometimes cause the factory one isn't really in my POV either.

What did you splice the LED wire in on the turn signal wires?

Used a splice set and crimping tool I got off ebay. Just ran the led leads through the back of headlight bucket. Didn’t want to drill any holes anywhere on the panel so just ran the led wires between the panel and headlight. Wire is stiff enuf and leds are small so they pretty much stay put.

Got a link for the LEDs? Might try something like this but maybe run it up to the top inside edge of my fairing

I have a plexiglass fairing and always thought it would be cool to have a rig where the turn indicator lights could be sent through the plexiglass in a fiber-optic sorta way so that the blinkers show around the edge of the fairing. But then I forgot to.
