First one, Led rear light unit.
Fitted one but when indicator is used indicator flashes at correct rate but other rear light/brake light also flashes. Are they meant to do that or have I done it wrong?
Secondly. Went to Southern Cross Motorcycles today for throttle body setup and suspension setup. Great Guys and great service! As recommended to me by Lord Sir Griff, and would recommend them to anyone on here myself.

Re the rear light.. have you changed the relay and done the diode mod??

As far as i understand it the leds use less wattage and the excess power has to go somewhere so will light up the indicator on the other side. To stop this resistors can be used or diodes which only let the current travel one way. Iprobably not the best explaination i did the diode mod it worked a treat

No idea what the diode mod is, but I used the resistors that came with the l.e.d. indicators I had on there before.
Saying that, when I fitted l.e.d. indicators all round on the bike before the fronts kinda did the same thing. Use indicator, indicator would flash on, then when it went off the other indicator would flash but not as bright.

Thanks for the link. Might have to get someone else to look at it as me and electrics don't mix. Main point being now that i've installed said l.e.d. unit the headlight has gone all tits up. Unrelated maybe, but knowing me it's to do with the l.e.d. unit.

I had the same problem with rear LED light, ended up wiring the standard indicators up in the circuit and hid them under the seat, probably not right but it worked !!
