Question Installing LED's

Anyone have a "how to" on installing flush mount led turn signals (front)? They came with no instructions....

I would expect it to be fairly straight forward. Wires, mount, lite?
Just take the time to do it.

No, not straight forward.... Fairing was a b*tch to get off, and I couldn't get the harnesses off then.... Fairing was a b*tch to put back on, and I didn't even get the lights in. Which wires go to which?

Use a test lite or meter and determine each wire.
3 wires:
1=ground (usually black or green with a black stripe)
2=marker lite (low lite output) Which isn't used if the flush mounts only have 2 wires.
3=blinker lite (bright output)

So, once you determine which is which, the ground to the black on the light, the marker lite wire taped and tucked away, and the last 2 together should finish the job. Volia!!

Sorry to make it sound so simple. As far as the fairings being a pain, you're right, they are. Welcome to motorcycle mechanics 101. Take it apart 3 or 4 more times, and it'll get easier...

They are Motrax from cyclegear.com - I couldn't tell you if they fit yet, but the bike is listed as compatible with them....
