1 relay would do all the indicators, you just take the feed from the switch gear and split it out to suit the application

if I get time later I will knock up a simple "drawing" and load it up here, be warned my abilities are restricted to PC paintbrush LOL

I actually like the blue mudguards...! looks good.

like the trike as a whole, those seats are in good nick...have they been upholstered recently?

got the same stance as a beach bastard without the 'drouge chute' roof!

Top man.

Just printed it off and stuck it in the garage folder marked "things you should know"

Many thanks.

I fitted LED self adhesive strips to the wings ( off ebay about £3 a strip) and they still work well, I also have some LED rear indicators and had to fit a load resisitor to stop it becoming a disco when I turned a corner

Even though they are very bright at night I still get some idiots pulling out in front of me, perhaps I should have fitted the blue flashing lights instead

good info everyone . GTR thanks for the diagram, it makes a lot more sense to me now.

if you wanted to be really fussy then its worth putting another diode in the line twixt the indicator flasher relay and the switchgear

otherwise if you put hazards on and also turn the indicator switch to the side, then you will have a flashing live feed to the rest of the bike

but not only are my hazards purely for MSVA and MOT time, I dont intend on leaving the indicators and hazards on at the same time LOL

I found a blog site about hot rods and chop bikes when pissed t'other night. One bike had stainless mudguards that had turned blue from spot welding - very nice. He'd also encased all lectrics in copper tubing (brake pipes?). Cant bloody find it now - but I was inspired.

I want to extend the guard like the rear one on this 1929 sedan:

Put these on the back:

these on the front:

these are nice but pricey:

By the way, Marc (Trikeman) did the guards and the upholstery for me 4 years ago i think.

GTR, thanks for info - lots to look at and play with. Made things a little bit clearer:niceone:

Crikey Will....think i've just ordered the very same front marker lights as those.

Well they look the same (ish) anyway....99p plus £4.99 postage (hong kong)

Ordered two sets at this price.
