I've located an LED replacement stop and tail unit for my R100GSPD, but not found replacement boards for front and rear indicators. I did all lights on my 1150GSA (from Nippy Normans I think) and it seems like a really sensible/simple modification to do. Anyone suggest where I can obtain, or if not which of the many you can buy can be adapted to fit relatively easily? Cheers.

I believe there's an issue with the flasher unit not being compatible with LED'S unless you go adding resisters. Look back a few threads at one about led bulbs for the instruments and you'll see a USA company supplying instrument led bulbs and units but they acknowledge there's a problem with flashers.

Thanks. Actually, that makes sense. Might have to consider replacing the analogue flasher technology with digital. Not impossible. But a bit more of a project.

I used to have a set of LED indicators on my Hexhead,

if i recall they cam with the required circuitry installed to stop the CANbus having a hissy fit

The fronts were shaped like this < > and the rears were a combined stop & indicator like this <- ->

they fitted straight into the exsisting light units

Luckily I don’t suffer from having a CANbus on this bike.
