Re: led indicator help
None are hassle free as you'll need to cut off the OE plug and crimp new connectors.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: led indicator help
Not exactly true, I fitted ones like these in my CBR. It's bben a shile since I've seen NC30 indicators, but I'm guessing they are still bullet connectors,thunderace wrote:None are hassle free as you'll need to cut off the OE plug and crimp new connectors.

He's talking about a central electronic relay to replace the OE one

Those in the link are just resistors and badly designed ones too - no heatsinks!

Re: led indicator help
Those are for reference, bine were twice that price each. Specifiaclly designed for Fireblade indicators as the aren't bullet connectors as standard. I've only LED's on the back and standards on the front so no need to replace the relay, but as you say, for 4 indicators, just snip the loom, ass spade connectors and fit one of the LED flasher relays.

Re: led indicator help
I'd still fit the relay, they work with both filament and LED bulbs, even a mixed system.

Re: led indicator help
Just buy one LED electronic flasher relay for about a tenner from Halfrauds.
