Member Contributer CHUCK2 Posted August 8, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Can someone tell me which of these 2 Turn Signal Flashers I need for my 5th Gen.? My plan is to change to LED's. Thanks. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/motorcycle-accessories/ Edited August 10, 2014 by CHUCK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer digitallyhip Posted August 9, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted August 9, 2014 You didn't list either option, but this is what I bought for my 6th Gen. Simple. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me--->Idiot. Thanks for pointing that out, digitallyhip. Link has now been added. That is one of the choices. Was the connector on that flasher the correct one for the bike? What has your experience been with LED's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has your experience been with LED's? The connector was perfect. The bulbs, not perfect. I bought four of these.bulbs. Installation of the rears was frustrating and awkward. But they work beautifully. Installation of the fronts was simple (the front was already removed for the installation of LED headlights), but the bulbs didn't work! In fact, they would blow the turn signal fuse immediately. I contacted the vendor, thinking I had a bad bulb. The vendor explained that there are two types of 7443 bulbs and that I needed the other kind. I haven't dealt with it yet, as the incandescent bulbs work great and I wanted to ride!

Member Contributer badelman Posted January 17, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 17, 2015 Blowing LED's sounds awful. Anyone know what specific 7443 bulb works for turn signals? I thought they all did. What 2 types are there? Which one to avoid? Is this vendor full of it or what?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAnderson Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ok guys, we need help here. I've got the same question : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RC51Nick Posted May 26, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Tst industries makes a led flasher identical in shape to the factory unit (at least for the 6th gen). It allows the rubbber mounting band to be used and no pigtail so the wiring seats identical to stock. Its about 20 bucks but it is 100% the same as stock but allows leds to flash normally. Here;s a shot of one on my 06 RC51. No messy pigtail to worry about. Edited May 27, 2015 by RC51Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
