Turn signal installation

[dezzmang]

Sorry to post yet another noob thread, but I am a noob!

My exhaust and indicators are both on their way down under as I type this, and obviously I want to get them installed ASAP once they arrive.

What I want to know is, if the DMP 3's I've got coming are anything like the cheap ebay signals I bought (and decided not to install) and have short wires, how do I go about extending them so that I can plug them into the factory loom?

If there's already a how-to that I'm not seeing on how to do this, feel free to point me in the right direction

Thanks in advance
Noob :)

Do you know what kind of connectors or plugs your turn signal got they probably won't be plug and play ie fit directly into your female plugs coming from the main harness

Easiest solution cut the male plugs off your oem signals , when you get the new turn signals
Check the length of the wires if they are long enough solder the stock plugs you just took off the oem signals then use a heat shrink tube over that solder job or simply use electrical tape that should get you sorted out mate

No idea what they come with Moeman, guess I'll just have to wait til they get here and go from there.

Thanks though :)

Do you still have your original factory turn signals intact ?

[dezzmang]

Yep they're still on the bike, all I've done back there is install my Tripage IT, but didn't bother installing the FE with the stock exhaust so haven't changed anything with the fender/signals/original brake light yet

Reason I am asking is stated in my first post if you do not have them tripage has the goods you need Tristan is a class act to do business with , ships world wide , and his products are brilliant check out this link http://tripageled.com/store/index.ph...tegory&path=95

Ok you are set simply take the turn signal plugs and solder them to the new turn signals presto you are set to go you must have bought the regular IT no integrated turn signals which is still a lovely product

[dezzmang]

Yeah just got the regular...Didn't want to push my luck too much as the cops down here are pretty tight on any mods!

If your talking rear signals green wire on our UK bikes is negative and the orange one is the positive and for the other side its blue, although i've only tested the left rear to 100% confirm that i think...well it was the green and orange wired ones i tried and green was definitely negative

[dezzmang]

Anyone know if there's a way to slow the flash rate on the indicators once the Tripage IT and FE are installed?

It says the package comes with a flasher relay to do it, but also says that it won't work on bikes with hazard lights, which my bike has.

I've got the relay here but can't see how any of the plugs/connectors would connect to it anyway

Your bike already has a flasher relay. It's under the seat by the battery. You have to take the existing one out and connect the new one in its place.

But like you said, I'm not sure how different it is for bikes with hazard lights. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

I'm going through this exact problem in the topic i made called 'resisters' i have the hazard lights as its a uk bike and my new relay did work but now nothing is working but im hoping to find out whats up...

my bike is an 08 as well and it's the 4-pin relay for us with hazards, difference is i have heated grips drawing current as well...so that could be a part of my issue but no idea yet

[dezzmang]

Ah so that black thing I got from Tripage replaces the stock relay?

I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy some male connectors...Do they have a proper name or just 'male 2 pin connector'? I'll take them with me anyway so hopefully they have the same part in stock.
