Turn Signal Indicators?

[Tomline]

Would it be possible to modify the mirrors of our Spyders to hold a small indicator facing the rear to let us know that our turn signals were working or had cancelled after a turn? OR put a larger light in the spot where the analog fuel & temp guage would go? Just curious?

Noticed a comment on one of the others about causing fast flashing on the "older" models.
Do you have them on both of your Spyders......without any disruption of the flash rate ??

[irvin48]

dont forget lamonsters setup alo. all of them are good.

You could just get some led lights at the auto parts store and put them in the speaker grill. Did that on our 2012.

I added a small strip of LEDs to the mirrors of my 2010, and everything still worked normally.
My 2014 has had a... :shocked:... few more lights added. :D
The last addition brought me a bout of hyperflash. Easily corrected on the newer bikes.
On the older ones: you need to add a resistor in the wiring. Since I've never done it: you're best to get someone who has added them, to fill in the blanks for you... nojoke

I put one of these little buggers on each mirror, in the upper inside corner. They're 1/4" square, and adhesive. I got green ones and they are awesome and very simple to wire in to the turn signal wires inside the mirrors. One of my favorite farkles actually. Then of course Spyder Pops sells great wrap around led strips too.

Steve, did I give you those arrows? I know I had a set of them, But I don't remember who I gave them to.

Thanks Dwight.
No, you had offered me a set, but I had already installed these.
I had to slip them off and remount them over the TricLED wide view mirrors. The TricLED mirrors go over the existing mirrors. I had left additional wire inside the mirror housing, so I could easily pull the arrows out an additional 1/4"
I like the mirrors. They're not quite as wide view as their website indicates, but still a good upgrade, and I got rid of those damn spot mirrors.

You WERE kind enough to offer your adjustable wind deflectors when BRP installed the heat kit on your bike.
I have those in place and am very grateful.

Hyperflash is not so easiyl corrected. Have it on my 2014 RTL, and nothing anyone suggests, works. Tried everyone's idea, does not work. So not everyone will get this remedied.

Sure it works; I had to use the fix for hyperflash on mine... :thumbup:
Just be sure to view Lamont's video about it, and do EXACTLY as he says.

It may not be easy for some.
If I understand it correctly, a dealer can fix it IN EVERY CASE.

Well.....maybe not if you got TOO carried away with modifying the lights or added too many.

I did mine and my wife's bike with a short led strip that I purchased at Auto Zone , and it took about an hour for both bikes. I took the time and effort to solder the splices instead of just crimping.

What was the part from autozone ? also did this just go to the turn signal wire inside mirror? I like it, I need details

Can we see a pic of this ?

I bought the little red strip of led lights about 4 inches long, almost all of the auto part stores have them , you can find red or yellow ones. I then drilled a tiny hole in the mirror at the end of the light strip and fished the wire through the mirror and out where the turn signal wire comes out. It was a lot easier than it looks. You can make a little shepards hook on the end of a piece of tie wire and fish the wire out the hole. I then carefully split the wires on the original wiring and shaved the covering off so I could solder my wire on. It would have been easier to just cut the wire and splice all together but I wanted to not cut the factory wire into, so I shaved some of the plastic off . I then plastic coated the connections for a good water proofing. All that was left to do was to plug the connector back together and re-install the mirrors. Honestly it took only about an hour., and this is something I normally don't do, but I hated not seeing my signal light. this way you can see it even in the bright daylight and the cagers next to you can see it as well.

Why should they build parts for a bike that is no longer being produced? :dontknow:
I'm sorry to hear that you can't find a set of strip lights in an auto parts store, and make them work! (Hint hint...)

[Mazo EMS2]

I'll try to load a video and some pics of what I use.....Not much luck with the video, but the LED is in the upper right corner of the mirror, and it's 1/4" square. If I can get the video to load, I'll add it.

[Mazo EMS2]

OK, I think I got it.....I've never posted to YouTube. Here is the YouTube link

I have a little green thing on my Dash that flashes when I have my turn signal on! Just messing with you

i have to say, it doesn't on mine either. i've tried 4 seperate times. with the bike running and without, and it will not go away

[bcer960]

I followed this video, (without breaking anything) and am quite happy with the results.

I'm chiming in.. I know this thread is about RT mirror turn signal.

But TricLED just launched 2 new products for F3T mirrors, and We are currently testing these products if they would work/fit for RT's
If and when they do, we will add them into our RT product line up. Thanks all !! :)

You can find more info from below links. I actually put a post about it too under TricLED.

Turn signal mirror lights look like they will be fine.
I think I will mount mine on the bottom of the mirror housing.

Order was shipped QUICKLY and the instructions are good........well maybe unless you have this "man" syndrome that makes you want to jump from step 2 to step 6 just by looking at the pictures. :lecturef_smilie: :roflblack:

Alas, I didn't pay close enough attention to the top mount trunk light strip or the pictures on the web site were a bit misleading.......but I don't think I will be using it. Just can't bear to stick the strip of bare LEDs on there. Sorry but I think that would look cheap.

I will keep the kit, however, because the adapter and wiring and connectors may make it much easier to connect a light strip that looks a bit classier to the top of the trunk. And I have a friend who LOVES all kinds of LEDs for various stuff so the strip won't go to waste either.

Overall impression: Good.
