a link to those resistors would be fantastic, thanks!!

Here. These are better than the Amazon ones. www.lowbrowcustoms.com/products/k-and-s-technologies-inc-turn-signal-resistors-3-ohm-10-watt

thanks!!!!!!!!!@@KnobleMoto

@@andyebbers8382 you’re welcome

[@vinsonwalton28]

so any problems with heat? i notice you just packed all your wires there under your seat and didnt bother to mount the resistors anywhere. No heat issues?

[@KnobleMoto]

No they don’t get very hot when they are resisting a “blinking” circuit. I have use them on a handful of other bikes and you can hold them in your hand as they work. I should I have added that in the video.

[@vinsonwalton28]

Cool. Im going to use 50watt 8ohm resistors on my vtx 1800. See any issues doing that? Thx for the informative vid.

I love harbor freight

@@vinsonwalton28 should be fine.

[@paulmurta5712]

Why did you use a 25w 8 Ohm resistor? ive been trying to figure out what to use but have no luck. 2008 lowrider

[@KnobleMoto]

I just used the generic "turn signal resistor" from Amazon. 25w should be about a standard incandescent 12vdc bulb draw. It does not have to be an exact load to ensure that you get the proper blink. Don't overthink it.

[@yousefhakhak5661]

does it become very hot? I used kuryakyn load equalizer on my harley 2009 FXCW and it become very hot I can't touch it by hand..

[@KnobleMoto]

Because it is a pulsing circuit, it does not become very hot. I can keep my finger on it the whole time. If it was "resisting" a steady load, then it would probably get pretty hot.

@@KnobleMoto thanks for reply. I read somewhere it could lead to a fire or burn some parts if its come in contact with them.. I did not measure the temperature but I can say around 70 c.

@@yousefhakhak5661 mine is in with the rest of the harness, and has been there for a few years. No damage on anything else.

My 03 sporty I put led bullets in and they don’t blink they just stay lit when I turn the signal on. Didn’t put them in the rear yet cause I knew I needed to get resistors. Will these fix the problem and can you link them please

[@KnobleMoto]

Yes, the resistors on the rear, will make the front ones blink also. I do not have a link, but they are available on amazon.

[@andyebbers8382]

what brand/size resistor please

[@KnobleMoto]

The cheap ones on Amazon.
