The thing is, i suspect the bike was sold with filament indicators (bulbs), You could do with confirming this with other owners if you dont know. Howeever if it was, then you will need adifferent flasher relay than the one fitted as standard, have a look at this thread here Here Another thing is the ones you have will have a positive and negative connection so you should have some instruction that came with them, i suggest you PM exupnutta (Ollie), hes an expert with led's ;)

hi oldgitonabike thanx for the info..i have seen i may need a relay flasher seen one for 20 pounds..i didnt get any instructions with the indicators..but i will pm exupnutta...thanx alza..

I would say that the black wire is pos and yellow is neg. Connect the black to the pos from switch and yellow to earth.

And why would you say that? when black is usually negative (as in your battery connections).

I agree, the black is negative and the yellow positive :)

My mate fitted LEDS to his SVS and thats how his were....you can check it with a continuity meter as you will only get a reading one way or the other way is by connecting across battery terminals......current can only flow one way as they are diodes..

:o:blink::unsure: You really want to connect the fancy doodah indicators to that!

Dont worry about the connectors they look like they are fit for the bin, unless you are planning to be changing them all the time get the wiring routed so you are happy and solder the connections.

Connectors are good for things that need to come off from time to time for servicing, otherwise they are just to make making the bike easy. So when you have things like the connections at the rear of the bike to lights and such, get rid of the weak link and solder them up.

Why bother just fit the indicators, route the wires tidy and out the way then solder them straight into the loom wires, loose the connections completely.

At the end of the day if you do need to change them in the future its only a quick snip to have them off.

You will never have any trouble with a good solder joint coverd with a bit of heat sleeving...
