I don’t think it hurts anything, but its not optimal.

Sounds good thank you, I just found very small 6mm bolt LED turn signals on ebay. For the price ill see how bad the hyper flash is. At that size and 6mm bolts I can use the factory mounting and still clear hard bags no problem. I ordered the wiring adapter plugs for the rear too.

1. Is hyperflash bad for the bike in anyway or is it just an annoyance?

2. If someone made an integrated taillight for our bikes I'd probably jump on that and negate the rear turn signals entirely

Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk I deleted both the front and rear turn signals with integrated LEDs, yes they hyperflash, and I was thinking of swapping the relay for an adjustable one, they are fairly inexpensive, however after a few months I realized the phenomenon does not bother me in the slightest, so decided to let it be as is. Front light was a plug and play thing, rear light needed to be spliced because it didn't come with Honda connectors, so I cut the connectors off the original tail light and signals. As for the front signals being on all the time and then cutting powered to blink, Max gave me a good idea to actually splice the new ones on the rear turn signals which will keep them off. Hope this helps

This is the headlight I used, rear was an ebay special, really cheap, and have destroyed it since, so I'm waiting for the new different one

I am looking for smaller turn signals and to relocate the rears to the license plate mount.


- trying to get my information straight. I don't want to need a flasher or resistor. So what light specs do I need to look for?


* if I want plug and play* (aside from extending the rear wires)

1. my understanding is I need 3 wire, Incandescent lights for the front to retain the running lights. Correct?

2. Does single or dual filament bulb matter?

3. Can I use 3 wire lights for the rear and just not use the third running light connection? (If I found a 4 pack of 3 wire)



I really want small bullet turn signals but they all seem to be LED and that sounds like a pain to change resistors or flashers to make LED work.

Rather put the money and effort towards other modifications than making simple taillights become a project.

There's this, but then depending on your budget it may not be the best option since it doesn't include turn signals

I'm trying to get an industrial loft with the freight elevator for that exact reason.
