Jumbo LEDTurn Signal IndicatorThe day someone tells you that you left your blinker on, you'll want this one!5/28/09 So, have you been riding on the 09 V-Max and realized that you have had your idiot indicator on for the last 20 miles? I have. You see, there is a time limit where the turn signal becomes an inattentive idiot indicator. Even worse, someone catches me at a red light and tells me it's on! So, I set out to build a turn signal cancellation device as part of the top speed fix. Well, its a mechanical function of the switch and would be a little hard to fix. So, the next best thing, make the tiny stock indicator larger. Here is the beginnings of that project. Turning the center stock:
Drilling the center stock:
Parting to the right length:
Pieces:
10mm Jumbo LED and some of the parts:
Electronics assembled:
Temp mock-up install until the proper parts arrive: This is not anywhere near the finished product. I have some more parts on order. This will be a simple 2 wire quick tap plus ground installation. The LED I am using is a 1 watt. It will give you a tan. 5/30/09 Video of the completed Jumbo LED Blinker. I had to drop the voltage to 2 volts to turn down the brightness otherwise it would blind you at night. VERY bright. I think I will see if I can put one of these in my shift light!
