Making small indicators Flash -How?-

[Buddy]

help...

Fitting small indicators to Sporty - but - they have smaller bulbs than standard and won't flash... How can I fool the flasher unit to make it work?

Any suggestions - preferably easy and cheap!

I think that you have to put a gizmo in between the flashers & the switch, I've got one & all I know is that it is called a badlander (or made by them) fits under the seat on my FXSTC.

You need a load equaliser!

Thanks all - i'll search out a load equaliser and hopefully my problems will go away. I'll be flashing in no time

I think you can just do it 'on the cheap' with resistors but robbiemac is your man to ask!!

yep its a resistor made to dummy the load of a regular bulb, as the flasher unit is load sensitive.
as it stands the resistance of a 5watt bulb will be 2.4Ohm
so either 4 x 2.4Ohm resistors and bridge the wiring across each bulb.
remember the flasher module needs to see load front and rear before it will flash.

I knew that!

Thanks all - I looked at the techy stuff and then ordered one from CCI

Maybe next time i'll save the money and buy a load of resistors.
