How To Wire A Motorcycle Series, Episode 4: LED Lights. What Are They, Why Do I need Them?

[@soundfoundation]

Just wanted to throw a couple of cleansing ales at you folks from Australia for posting brilliant informative, inspirational pixel flicks on making bikes just that more wonderful! Thank you, and im pretty sure I can speak for all of the two wheeled brethren on our Island. ;-)

[@RevivalCycles]

Awesome, thank you!

I just installed led turn signals on my Triumph Bonneville T 120 and saw that the flashes were now really quick. I thought I’d done something wrong. Now I know why and how to fix it. Thanks guys.

[@FinFu509]

Done similar things and learnt Ohms’ law in a practical way.

[@Davidshomeworkshop]

Talked a lot about the benefits of LEDs, didn't cover much in the way of wire sizing, actual wire diagrams, adding lights, balancing loads, or the differences between different items you sell online. Some of your older content on wiring is good, but I was hoping for more. Still love your work. Thanks for all you do.

David Vasquez see the reply below. More detailed ‘how to’ videos coming later.

I love these videos! I would love some more details though on the actual wiring :) im about to buy your 3phase regu/rec for my r80/7 (y)

[@RevivalCycles]

more detailed "how to" to come. In the meantime check out our tech support tutorials here: technicalarticles.revivalcycles.com/hc/en-us

When all this is over can’t wait for the next Sunday gathering.

[@thenoobiangamer2703]

Hey guys. Can you tell us about the bike in the thumbnail? That’s one awesome rear end.

[@RevivalCycles]

That is a Ducati MH900e owned by our media producer Gareth Roberts. You can read all about it here www.bikeexif.com/ducati-mh900e-cafe-racer

[@thenoobiangamer2703]

Revival Cycles fantastic, thanks for the fast reply ❤️

[@woncameron24]

Can you cover the waterproof connections? The Mizu P25 as well as Apex high voltage. When and how to use ?

[@RevivalCycles]

This is definitely in the works. We use a few other connectors and there's a few that I want to work with so that we can distill it down to just what we consider the best connector for any task on a bike.

[@woncameron24]

Revival Cycles Sounds great. Do you use SuperSeal too?

[@Crapse545]

So when do they show how to wire it?

[@always_on_ten]

Problem.. got the blaze pins for my front signals. Tried both series and parallel wiring . If my front light is on , my back is off. If the front is disconnected the rear comes on. I'm stuck. Any idea ? How to get 2 blinkers turned on at once?

[@RevivalCycles]

Have you swapped the old flasher relay for an LED compatible one? That's my preferred solution but if you have just one dash indicator light that flashed for both left and right then you may be better off using load balance resistors in parallel to each of your LED signals.

[@zZbigbang001]

Which model of Ducati shown in the video picture?? My neighbor had this bike in red and I have been looking for the model for some time.

[@RevivalCycles]

Nick Blanco it’s a custom build based on a Mile Hailwood rep MH900e

[@khruheber7362]

Hello. Have you ever installed 4 mini Pods LED Analog brand indicators on a Bonneville T120, 2016? I'm asking you because my indicator lights work good, they flash good, I also set it up on type 4. But when I turn on the hazard lights, the hazard lights don't work. Kind of weird. Should I change the diod flasher or relay? Something bad w/ the harness connection? I would appreciate it.

[@khruheber7362]

The ohm rating on the bulb (genuine) is 1.5 if helps.

[@RevivalCycles]

We've never worked with Analogs components. Have you emailed Tony for support? You can always shoot an email to [e-mail] and the guys might be able to help.

[@tylermegehe]

Nice video. Nice shirt. When did you escape?

[@RevivalCycles]

Still in lockdown. Haven't left the shop or seen daylight since mid March.

[@tylermegehe]

Keep up the videos. Looking forward to November.

[@frankpeutz9106]

is this a how-to-video?!

[@RevivalCycles]

Frank Peutz it’s part of a series of ongoing short films that discuss motorcycle wiring as a whole, that involve discussions, and instructional videos. This strand discusses the broad principles of different aspects of motorcycle electrics, we will be featuring deeper dives into specific techniques later in the series. If you watch the introduction film to the series we explain this in detail.

[@arghyl]

Oh shit The Hamburglar started building bikes.

[@RevivalCycles]

It's the Bocaburgler bro.
