• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'm needing a part number to a replacement bulb. I'm wanting to replace it with an Amber l.e.d. . Thanks for any input.
 
Be carefull adding just a LED bulb with the less amp draw may throw the computer into a loop.

You may need to add a resister inline to run them, not 100% sure but think I heard that about that year bike

I added led lights to the fender tips and haven't seen An issue yet. I ordered the rear blinker bulbs listed above and will let you know if any issues happen. I'm not even sure how to wire in a resistor if I had to.
 
I installed those very same bulbs in my rear turn signals and they blinked at twice the rate of incadesent bulbs. Funny thing is they worked perfectly using the 4-way flashers.

So the only issue is that they blink faster than the original bulb? Does that harm or eventually harm anything? To me, it seems like the blinking faster would be better because it gets ppls attention and should be safer. Just like the flashing brake lights.
 
Installed the bulbs last night. They are a snug fit against the Lens cover but it doesn't effect anything. Rode the bike around town and no issues except fast blinking. Which like I said feels better to me because it's an attention getter and less likely to get hit.
