Did you have to fit a relay for the LED indicators or did they just work ok?

Have tou still got the standard ones on the front?

indicators

I did not have to fit a relay but needed a resistor to make up for the drop in load of the LEDs I kept the front indicators only changing the back, Hein gerick do a replacement controller in their catalogue, at some point I will change to that, I also cut the rack down a bit as I think it was a bit to wide for my hard cases (Transenduro aluminum ones) and there was room for improvement, so now if the handlebars go through then the back of the bike will go as well

Cheers John

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
