It's been quite a while, but I pieced the cracked-up tail section back together and reinforced the light area on a buddy's '95 VFR. I recall it was pretty rickety & insecure how the tail-light...

Ditto with tabs & such using the acrylic powder (forms a putty with a few minutes work-able time) - the guy that turned me onto it used it to fill the headlight openings on his wife's SV, making it a...

Nice work & the signals look good.
Just an 'IMO' commentary though: I kinda :lol: at stereo systems on bikes (open-air loudspeakers, that is). I mean, if the point is to be able to listen to...

Tridon EL13 is a common electronic ('no-load') flasher available at pretty much any parts store. Way better solution (and cheaper, unless using the shitty ceramic radio shack ones) than installing...

No, not the relay, that's before the circuit branches to L/R at the switch - the diode array at the indicator lamp.
Just my best semi-educated guess:
I'm thinking that the voltage (think of...

I must respectfully disagree. If it were in series, it wouldn't need to be nearly the size (power/wattage capacity), since it would only be passing a few milliamps. 'Load' resistors are way lower...

I believe LEDs must have a resistor wired in series to operate in a 12V system, because full system voltage (~14V) will simply fry them otherwise. The commercial ones typically have the LEDs &...

Ahh - It just dawned on me, I bet what may be causing it is a 'backfeed' through the dash indicator circuit which is producing a small voltage on the opposite-hand signal circuit.
Especially if your...
