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

This nation wasn't given to our forefathers, it was wrought over a 1000 years of bloody war and the efforts of those who came before.
Let it not be us who bears the sin, of giving it away to the enemy within.

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

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

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, then hit them with it

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.levvin wrote: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!

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:
