Going to have it done next month. Will post pics. A guy that I've been communicating with in Australia did it too.

[MENTION=168090]That said, they now blink a little slow for my taste.

*HERE* is the flasher relay you want, from Super Bright LEDs. I had this on my Versys and found it to be very reliable. No issues running all 4 LEDs on the V-strom. Flash rate is perfect, a little faster than stock. Mine is about 93 per minute (specs say 90 +/- 10%). All I had to do was make some quick bullet connector-to-spade connector adapters and it plugged right up.

Edit:
On a side note, *THESE* LED bulbs are outstanding for our turn signals. Very bright.

Are the LEDs plug and play into the turn signals? Where does the flasher plug into?

Yes, bulbs fit fine. Flasher relay is under seat behind battery on right side.

Would love to see your mod regarding to the increase ground clearance once you are done as well.

Would love to see your mod and pictures once you started it as well.

What is the purpose of the flasher? The stock one won't run the LED turns?

Correct. Replacement for the stock one.

Mod18: throttle paddle

I've been riding on and off for 25 years and I've never heard of these little things until @notacop mentioned them last week. Wow. New favorite toy. Even better than the helmet hook!

No problem, let me know if you have any questions on utility or install.

Mod20: license plate box

I added a license plate box. I don't actually need it, I just thought it was cool.
I had to mod the AYN Plate to allow for the locking mechanism but no biggie.

ModXX: key fob

ok, not a mod, but it's still cool.
Because I keep messing up and trying to start it in gear, and then complaining about a flat battery, my wife had this made for me. It's perfect.

cross posting this from the other thread.
I was asked what the wiring pattern is to make either blinker activate the AYN Hazard Pattern. Here it is.

Awesome thread, thanks for sharing your experiences

I constantly think the throttle should be easier, this looks like a step in the right direction, what the name of this thing ? where did you get it ?

Thanks in advance
