OK I know I'm asking alot. But this is survivor stuff here! I need an LED assembly that'll do: 1. Amber turn signals that can be seen from the front, back and side in Seattle Fog and rain----waterproof 2. A motorcycle size Brake light that can also be seen partially from the side. 3. Has to hold up under thousands of miles (n$t s$me t$y that dies on the first pot hole). Can a motorcycle shop do this? If not where can I buy such an assembly?

Hi VR,

try this online doc.. It shows the wiring diagram etc to do what you may want.

this is the website..

I also saw recently on the internet a set of ready made direction idicators and brake lamps for sale in the UK but for the life of me cant find the site again.. sorry.

the problem is I don't know if drivers will know what they are telling them. they don't expect that on a bike.
I htin kthe best bet is a good set of xenon strobes. they can't ignore them they are bright in the daylight.
remember you can lead a horse to water but (G)

hmmm...if the turn signals are too close together, how will they know which one is on? When I look at the back of the motorcycle, they have a tail light in the middle as a point of reference.

Maybe I need all three in the back?

Wow their setup is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the insight! It'd be good to have everything hang off one *SMALL* battery.

I'll repost the price and details if they reply to my request!

But I found a great rear turn signal, brake and running lights. http://www.clipbrite.com But nothing for the front of the bike. Still need small turn signals for each handle bar and a switch. Or a whole assembly that does front and back on one switch and one set of batteries. Why is this so difficult?
