Load equalizers

[COP RUNNER]

i put new turnsignals on my max , not led , but these cool "mini stalker " with smoked lenes . They look great , but the bulbs draw less watts then the original ones , so i have to install load equalizers , has anyone else had to do this ?

the other thing you could do is swap the blinkers relay to an electronic one - then loads don't matter!

BUT THEN I'LL LOSE THE AUTO OFF FEATURE , WON'T I ?:confused2:

 

[naughtyG]

is the auto feature part of the blinker relay? I'll to check the schematics - I would have thought that there were other components involved in this feature, and the blinker relay would just be bog standard..

Early models the flasher relay, starter cutoff and canceling unit were in one relay. Late models have only flasher and canceling unit in one relay. You can keep the canceling function but will need to do some splicing. Both early and late models use a reed switch in speedometer which run to the cancelling unit.

I didn't even know there was a self cancel on the bike, mine must have never worked. I replaced my flasher with one on the custom dynamics site and it works perfectly.

i believe its 15 seconds or 1/4 mile? as logn as the bike is moving...

i only really notice it if i put my blinker on too early to merge to an on/off ramp and it goes off by the time i get there..

I had to add some resistors to my signal wires when I added aftermarket blinkers. Most people who added the same blinkers as mine didn't have any trouble, but my Max is "special"


I bought them at radioshack for a couple of bucks, an electrical genious friend of mine told me what ones to buy and how to solder them in.

I put two in the headlight bucket, and two under the seat, soldered and heat shrinked over. I was concerned at first, because they get pretty warm, but I have had no trouble with them so far.

And here I thought mine always turn off automatically just before I get to the turn. LOL!

 

[COP RUNNER]

I JUST PUT ON A DUAL LOAD EQUALIZER , BLACK WIRE GOES TO FRAME GROUND , ONE PURPLE WIRE TO MY RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL "HOT" WIRE & THE OTHER PURPLE TO MY LEFT , NOW THEY ALL WORK GREAT ! I STILL THINKS IT BLOWS THAT I HAD TO DO THAT , NOT USING LED LIGHTS ! BUT THE TURN SIGNALS LOOK GREAT !unk:
