Got a set of led flashers as broke my rear left indy when the bike fell over.

Now the bulbs in em are 10watt jobbies, so if I replace the front stock flasher with a 21watt jobbie will the it work ok with the stock relay as doubling up on the bulb wattage on the front should in theory keep the resistance roughly the same?????????
Anyone tried done/tested this before I go out and chop off the plugs on my stock rear indicators??

Success..:biggrin......... to anyone who wants to know................here is a pic of the led indicators I fitted


If you change the front bulbs to 23 watt ones you can retain the stock relay and the flash rate stays the same no probs :thumbup
 
i left the standard fronts on and fitted led rears with the standard flasher...worked ok for me

What led indicators did you fit? Did they have built in resistors? Have your front bulbs already been changed to higher wattage??
Tried mine with the standard 10w bulbs and indicators just lit up constant as there was not enough resistance to trip the relay.....................
 
With 20w bulbs in the front you can use a led with changing anything else.
10w might very well not work.
