Try reversing the polarity?
LEDs sometimes only work one way.

surely LEDS only ever work one way round?
if you've fitted something like an Acewell digital speedo, there will definitely be an issue with the charge light. what have you fitted to the spada?

I have fitted the standard clocks in a nice polished alloy plate,which came with a set of led warning lights,bought from Gutsibits which are very good to deal with.Sorry for pic quality taken with my phone

in that case, they probably just need to be wired the right way round. it won't hurt them if you have got them backwards, they just won't work.
the only other thing i can think of is that they might not be suitable for 12v and need a dropper resistor. if they are made for the job, this should not be necessary.

Got them working now,just by reversing polarity
Bike is looking great, love those clocks. My top clamp has been undergoing a little refurb.
I'm still gathering bits ready for a blitz, then, about next summer, I reckon, if I'm lucky a pretty l'ill cafe racer might just see daylight.
Been taking lots of pics, but the pace I go at would bore you all to tears. Will post later, nearer the end of the 'build'.

That's going to be one cool machine when done.
If you haven't yet bought the tank, I'd suggest that you get your order in now, normally there's a huge waiting list, 40 weeks for John Williams at the tank shop, you might be lucky and get oneof the shelf, worth checking first.
There's palace in Wales, used to be connected to the above. Let me know if you need details.
BTW, Monza petcocks have a right angle fuel exit, and leave more room for the larger tank.
