Yep, I should have ordered from www.electrosport.com. I think I shied away from them because I read some lingering forum reports about poor customer service. I bought my signals and relay from www.sicassracing.com and paid too much. $37.95 for a pair of indicators and $23.95 for the 3 wire relay from sicassracing versus $23.95 for a pair of indicators and $12.95 for the relay from electrosport.
This is the exact unit I used: http://tinyurl.com/cvl8k9 I replaced the connector that comes on the unit with the one from my Husky flasher.
I have the above relay from electrosport- should plug right in from what I gathered- I installed my new leds and decided they blink just fine with the stock relay- no inspiration to really change anything- so I may try my led relay at some point but don't see a need to at this point- I say this because- if someone wants to make the change to LED on there's and decides its too much trouble... you can skip the relay for cost or confusion, it will just blink slightly faster- least on 08/09s- with that relay. Stock is a 2 prong- (its the common one). LED is the way to go- low power and more dependable. Keep in mind cheap ones (really cheap) can be too dim and useless.
I just installed lighting on my 08 Husaberg. Used the 3 wire relay for the LED signals, just ground the 3rd wire ( black ) only other issue is if your bike is equiped with an indicator light on the dash....the indicator may cause a back feed and both sets of signals will illuminate and not blink ( quick fix is too cut the wires off the indicator and tie both wires into one side of the indicator light, run the other lead off the light to ground...voila, indicator/signals work properly )
Got my relay from Electrosport (the two terminal relay Howard posted above). The company has definitely turned around their shabby reputation, IMO. My bike's still in pieces (waiting on suspension & my Lynx fairing) so as soon as I get those things going, I'll get the relay installed and post a pic or two.
Does anybody know if it makes a difference which wire is connected to which blade terminal on the relay? The 2 x wires off the loom are red/green and blue/black. The blade terminals on the relay are 49 & 49a. I couldn't find anything in my repair manual to indicate an answer. I'm thinking it won't make a difference but wanted to hear from you guys who've installed LEDs.
You won't hurt anything if they are backwards. Just hook it up and if they don't flash switch them around.
Not true with my '08 510. I put LED turn signals on both front and rear and got a fast blink rate and no dash indicator. (Can't remember if it was stuck on or off, but it didn't blink at all.) I installed 10 ohm resistors in parallel with the signals to restore normal blink rate and dash indicator operation. I'm curious if the dash indicator would blink normally if the turn signal flasher was replaced with an electronic one that blinks at a normal rate with LED signals. I'm guessing no but I don't know.
Anyone else have trouble with their turn signals not cancelling? Mine seem to have a mind of their own sometimes- sometimes they will work perfectly, other times they won't shut off at all, and sometimes they will shut off for a second or two, then start going again.
The 610 may well be different. I hadn't realized when I posted that I was in the 610 section. I wouldn't have posted if I had realized that at the time.
