Integrated LED brake/tail/turns
« on: May 25, 2015, 03:45:05 PM »
 Check it out....
  This is on my XS650, but it should work on an SOHC4, too.
 I'm running LED lights and integrated the brake/tail and turns. I used a trailer converter and an LED flasher unit.

Pretty cool! What parts did you need other than the lights?

Without watching the YouTube vid, it is a little easier for the SOHC4s. Many states do not allow amber brake lights, which is the color of our SOHC4s rear turn signals.  So,the LEDs and the flasher unit is all you need.

On a side note, I just saw an LED H4.

I don't know how it compares to a 55/60 halogen for brightness, but I'd try it.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

 I'll have to get a new video with the 2-1. It's a great running bike. The forks need seals and oil in a bad way, but someone destroyed the caps. I'll be addressing that as soon as parts show up.
