    Just fitted a set of cheapos from eBay (about £12)

    [​IMG]

    Nice 'Stealthy' look to them but they did need some in-line resistors fitting as well.

    I've fitted one pair of resistors but I think I'll stick another pair in as they're flashing just a little too fast still...

    They look small but the LED's are super bright, much brighter than my previous ones..

    Either more resistors or change the flasher relay for an LED orientated one.

    THAT would be the better option, are they 2 or 3 pin?.

    For some reason cant see the picture ... But Im also a fan of the stealthy indicators etc ... Think the rears are hidden enough ? 2016_6_7_2.JPG

    I gotta admit, I like your rear end, very tight and tidy.
    But where are the flashers! very discreet

    This was the correct relay to get the flash rate at the right speed...

    The smoked LED strip under the standard rear light .. Its also a rear light and brake light if required ... and its flexible so bends around curves

    Hi Volksrat - where did you get that strip light from - is it the one from Revival cycles (https://revivalcycles.com/products/flexible-led-taillight) or did you manage to find a cheaper local version ??

    I do really like the clean look and want to see if its something i can do on mine.

    Cheers
    Jonathan

    Ive got the strip light lol .. got it on Ebay ... its listed for a bunch of bikes ... but its generic ... comes from china and costs about a tenner or so ... its indicators .. rear light and brake light.. with built in load resistors .. tried it with all the lot wired ... looked ok but then the expansion bottle leaked and it all stopped working so just hard wired the indicators and earth .. still works ok and I still have original tail and brake ..

    Thank you Toad,

    I see the cables come out the side which wont really work for my application of mounting on the tail unit - i need the cables to feed out through the rear.

    Problem with all of these show bikes is they omit all the things you actually need to be on the road like number plates and mirrors to get the look :)

    Cheers
