What did you do to your motorcyle today?

LED will cause issues in your turn signals if you don't change the flasher out to a no-load flasher but they shouldn't cause any issues with headlight or tail light.

Headlight and tail light circuits don't care how much resistance there is in the circuit, they just supply whatever power is needed to light the bulb.

You guys have me thinking,  my old halogen on the Z1R is only slightly brighter than me however with the fairing there is quite a bit of room behind so I might try it.   Shawn you mention the zero resistance blinker,  can that be found in any automotive stores?   I am used to 5 buck blinkers from Canadian Tire here.

I believe you can get a no-load flasher from KMS CAR parts or Old Car Centre.

Lordco can be hit-and-miss but it's worth a phone call.

Interesting...I tried one in my KZ1000 and if I recall correctly it went on and immediately went off.  I should try it again.

Remember, halogens and sealed beams use the same connector with a different pin arrangement. If the LED was intended as an H4 replacement and you plugged it into wiring designed for sealed beams, the wiring would be wonky.

I might be prudent to check your wiring with a test light or meter to see just what you have.

Thank you Shawn

Huh.  That’s odd.  Whenever I’ve installed H4 headlamps, it’s been plug and play.  No problems.

[Twisted_Twin]

Usually if you plug the H4 into the sealed beam connector without swapping wires it will still work but the beam will be weak because you're lighting both filaments with one circuit.

Dr. Virago had this issue a while back if I remember correctly. I can't find the post though, the search function on the forum is borked.

I don’t think I’ve ever had that problem.

I finished up the exhaust by wire wheeling the material to give it a brushed stainless look and cleared with VHT exhaust clear.

[kilowop]

Damn that looks good.  Makes we want to clear the snow and dig a path to my workshop.

[Wheels]

Looks very good and one has to love that engine they just seemed to make it right.

 I like that, better than wrap, but I wonder..can you pull the lower pipe up about a inch on the back ?

Not always true - my Kawasaki has some circuitry to indicate if the headlamp is burned out - haven't tried but I suspect using a LED lamp would trigger the idiot light.  My ascot has similar circuitry (maybe) to detect a burned out brake lamp.

I wonder (and I know zero about electrikery) if there isn’t just a relay in your circuit where if there’s no current, ie a burnt out bulb, the current gets directed to the idiot lamp.
