Wiring Front Turn Signals - GS550 Cafe Racer (Part 92)

I detail the wiring for the front turn signals on my custom Suzuki GS550 cafe racer project motorcycle. I reference the wiring diagram, discuss the importance of having the correct turn signal flasher relay, and demonstrate checking if I'm correct with a test light.

Thanks to those who weighed in on the shirt. My thought was that this shirt shows the Golden Ratio as well as a Mondrian Composite, which I thought was an interesting combination. Thanks again all!

Thanks for posting this video. It just saved me at least $140. (The estimate amount of just wiring the aftermarket front turn signals up after I had already installed them on my motorcycle). After watching this video and following the instructions it took me approximately 20 minutes to have them hooked up and working. The Motorsports shop I got the estimate from stated that it would take approximately 1 1/2 hours labor time and that was if everything went well with no problems.

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

Just subscribed to Around On A Bike. Just watched the preview for the Balkans part 2. Looked like a great time but what really clinched it for me was when he posted "Trying New Beers". Man after my own heart.

[@UrbanMonkTV]

Yeah, I love his tour videos.

Getting closer and closer to perfection. Really liking it👍🏼👍🏼

i realize I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?

[@shilohchase658]

@Bentley Micah try flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@breckenstanley4296]

@Shiloh Chase definitely, I've been using flixzone for since april myself :D

[@bentleymicah3480]

@Shiloh Chase Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !

Very nice, so looking forward to the finished project. Oh and the shirt design is the geometry of the golden ratio. i.e. Approximate and true golden spirals. The green spiral is made from quarter-circles tangent to the interior of each square, while the red spiral is a Golden Spiral, a special type of logarithmic spiral. Overlapping portions appear yellow. The length of the side of one square divided by that of the next smaller square is the golden ratio. Thank you Wikipedia :-)

Hello, thanks for the video. What would I have to search for to find the relay you're talking about, which needs switching when using led lights?

[@UrbanMonkTV]

Thanks for watching. I searched "two pin led turn signal flasher relay" and got a lot of results on eBay that would work, but also got a bunch with three pins so just check which your bike needs and order the correct pin count and orientation. Super inexpensive.

The T-shirt I don't know maybe looking at an odometer or a tack watching it halfway in the red. Down on the right maybe the red line light

[@masonw2134]

Nice shirt! Looks to be the golden ratio and the rule of thirds

[@UrbanMonkTV]

Partially correct. Thanks for watching!

[@Samuraimindset-]

Looks like kandanski meets fibonacci.

[@peterwood400]

Golden Ratio, Rule of Thirds

[@UrbanMonkTV]

Partially correct. Thanks for watching!

@@UrbanMonkTV Deffo Golden Ratio. The only other thing it reminds me of is a Bauhaus design logo?

[@UrbanMonkTV]

@@peterwood400 Correct on Golden Ratio. My other thought in my comment to all.

About 50 miles south of me, Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, TN 38462 ?

[@UrbanMonkTV]

No connection that I'm aware of. If they have a similar shirt design, I'd guess its coincidental. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@sidsnot9999]

On another note, have you connected the engine earth yet? and was it to the back bolt on the top of engine casing? Did the bolt come out ok and was it a long bolt? and what does it do? Mine broke when trying to remove it, I tapped it out and put a short bolt in. No problems so far :-)

[@UrbanMonkTV]

Yes, top back of crankcase. I just used a 6mm bolt I had lying around. It serves no purpose internally, just ground (earth). It sounds like you have yours in order. Did any piece of original bolt fall inside that you're aware of? May have fallen through to the bottom of the sump/pan.

[@sidsnot9999]

​@@UrbanMonkTV Thanks for the reply, interesting that your bolt was not a long one running deep into the case like mine, perhaps a 750 - 550 difference. I don't think any part of my bolt came loose, it looks like it just sheared off 2/3 of way down the shaft. Fingers crossed for the future it is all ok. I was wondering what this bolt's purpose was???, anyhow enjoy your ride when its running, I rode mine today to my local watering hole, it is great fun to ride. :-)

[@cobyhunsaker2384]

Could you link the relay you purchased?

[@UrbanMonkTV]

I'm sorry, I purchased so long ago that I don't remember which exact one I bought. However, this should do the trick with any 1977-78 GS550 ... www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pin-Electronic-LED-Flasher-Relay-Fix-For-Turn-Signal-Light-Fast-Hyper-Flash-US-/303349270957?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 It isn't the only one that will work. No specific endorsement of any seller here. Thanks for watching!
