Charlie,
Take a look at "http://members.aol.com/vechbmw2/signal.html" and see if that
helps.

My bar-end Hella replica signals arrived today that I ordered Thursday from Domi-Racer. Very nice folks (at least Tony anyway) to buy from if this purchase is any indication. Although made in Taiwan, the quality is very good and the price is right ($67.80 including shipping). Whoever posted to check with them on my original query, thanks! I don't have the wiring on my project yet, so I hooked one to a battery through a flasher unit. It was very bright for a few seconds then nothing! Just as I suspected though, 6 volt bulbs are installed. Found a 12 volt festoon (dome light style) bulb in my Mercedes stash and it worked much better but wouldn't flash properly. Got me to wondering - will I be able to find a flasher unit that will work correctly with just one 10-15 watt bulb drawing current. I won't even have an indicator light (figure that if I can't see the bloody thing flashing right there at my hand, I ought to quit riding!). Or could I wire in a resistor to fool the flasher? What ohm value? Don't want to go down the road with my turnsignal flashing like a strobe. Cheers, |
