Not only do i love your demeanor but you were very thorough and explained it well enough a child should be able to follow along. Much respect and appreciation from MI!
I don't think I could have found a more perfect video for what I was looking for. I love how straight-to-the-point everything is, and the absolute Candor of the comments. Excellent job. I'll be coming back.
Thank you for the video. Simple and easy to follow. I did this mod for my 2004 VRSC and it’s good to go. The relays were a pain to figure out a location, due to the limited space on the vrod. I ended up taking the relay cases apart, and encasing the actual , much smaller relay, in rubber cement. Works perfectly. Thanks again!
was dealing with this BS for days. Resistors didnt work, Badlander equalizer didn't work. THIS WORKED, and worked well. Self cancelling doesn't function but i can live with that. The biggest help of this was you pointing out not to wire them in line with the rear lights, but to follow the harness back before it splits to front/rear. I owe you a beer.
I have searched and searched and searched for answers to my problem. Even my Haynes manual doesn't answer my issue. But you did. So thank you for that. I'm now subscribing.
Awsum thanks for posting this, worked a treat on my sporty! Cheep Chinese relays off ebay with 3 inches of wire built into the flasher relay, black to lights red to relay box. Cheers from New Zealand
Dude, you are the freaking man. I’ve been busting my head for over a month with a 2000 Sportster 883 XLH. 100% solved! I only had to do it with the left blinker. Ordered it from amazon but it wasn’t the same brand. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video bro.
It's as simple as a relay to slow down the hyper flashing. When folks say that the lights stay on constant, what they don't realize is that the light is actually flashing, its just flashing so fast that you cant even see it. The relay will slow down the blinking. But thank you for your video, I am the type of person that learns from others mistakes, and I have learned a few things from your video, I will take that info and store it in my mind forever as if I learned from failing myself. :) Since 2017 they have came up with even newer relays that allow for you to adjust the speed of the flasher, I love technology! Thanks brother!
This worked perfectly for me!! thanks!!!! My buddy and i were struggling with this for weeks and after watching your video and sending $8, the problem was solved!!!
Thank you so much for an awesome video. One of the best I've seen. Will have mine here tomorrow and will be on the road again tomorrow night. Thanks again!
Thanks a ton for this. Had a sportster that had the harness hacked and was having trouble getting blinkers installed and working with what remained. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Scott, you saved me a lot of headache! Put LED on my wife’s sportster, same issue just turned on, no blink....wtf figured I needed to add a resistor, but watched the video and ordered the orange relays ... all soldered and shrinked ... perfect! Love the adjustability on the relays! $7/each and 20 min of work DONE! Let’s ride!
Best video I have seen about this answered every question I had gotta wire mine up in the next few days took all the questioning out of it for me thanks
It worked ! After hours of frustration and failure trying to retrofit FXR with LED lights and ballast resistors I followed your video and it worked perfectly !
Just got a 99 Sportster a couple of weeks ago, and the previous owner fucked the turn signals up. This video was extremely easy to follow and now my bike is good to go! Thank you very much
Great video! Running into the same exact issue on my dyna after installing an LED tail light, same scenario as yours, all other lights stock. Going to order those same relays. Thanks again!!
Clear and sassy. I put a relay from a Kawasaki that i had laying around and it did the same thing, blink but as soon as I rev solid light. Great vid exact vid i needed and fixed.
Thanks for this, used this for my 95 XL. recently did a rear running/turn signal conversion with led’s but wouldn’t blink. Wired these directly to my tsm as you stated and all worked well, but in my case I had to put incandescents back up front because when led’s(1157’s) were on, only front right would stay on as a running light. When incandescents were put back in infront both front running lights worked.
Like having my buddy in the shop beside me helping me fix it well done video and everything I said to myself like bet he don't mention 2 wires up front for running lights and then not only mention them answer the question I had about em thanks man much appreciated
Thank you Scott! Worked like a charm. Finished the setup on my wife's 2000 Sportster. Same tail light as the one in your video, but I replaced the old bullets with new led bullets. Required tapping into the running light wire on the tail light harness to get running lights working on the new bullets. Soldered the wires and everything is working perfect. Fun project.
I did this today! Got the 2 orange LED relays off Amazon, all works perfectly, the only downside is that I've now lost the hazards, but I've only ever used them once , thank you so much for this video
That is an unfortunate side effect. Haven’t found an answer to it as of yet. But the end result (in my opinion) is worth the easy cost vs. what Harley wants to charge for their conversion kits. Lol
Hey thank you so very much for doing this video it helped me out tremendously I just hooked up the electronic relays like you showed and they’re working perfectly😂
Awesome!!! Straight up and forward! That damn beeping in your video had me looking all around my damn garage!! Until I shut the video off and realized it was yours!!! Thanks for the great info I'll update after I get the relays and done!
@@Roger_That_Scott so I followed your instructions to a "T" got the two relays off Amazon installed the 4 blacked out LED bullet style blinkers and they worked like a charm!! this went on a 1999 sportster 1200 as a gift for my youngest son's 22nd birthday!! Along with a very nice rolling tool box! Thanks for the video!
I have a 1976 Sportster ironhead 1000. I can't find any mechanics in WV who knows jack shit about them or they just aren't talking to me because I am a noob. The bike came with no turn signals and I was stuck. I am not a mechanic nor an electrician.This video is not the same bike as mine but your method is perfect. Thank you for saving me a ton of headache. You have made a fan of me sir. Thank you
Dude you are a best bro thank you so much video was just great been struggling with this for weeks u made my day thanks so much for you taking the time to do it
Thanks so much for this detailed and to-the-point tutorial. I just installed LED front signals and they happen to work just fine. But now my rear turn signals just stay on constant when I hit the turn button. Hopefully this is the fix. Thanks!
thanks, my question about front LED turn signals came up at the end. I used the same relays for the rear LED taillight and now installing the front LED turn signals.
Perfect video. Simple and to the point. Ordered my relays on amazon even before the video ended. 16 bucks canadian for two. That's only about a buck seventy five for you americans. Lol.
Nice job, well done. Now we need one for the FL's. FL TSM is under the rear fender so mounting the relays under the fender the only option..😮 Might try splicing into the purple and brown on the way up to the front...
Thanks a lot Scott, I did exactly what you said and showed in the video and it works great. I finally have turn signals again. I’m not sure if this happened to you or not but My hazard lights are really low when they are activated.Oh well I don’t need them. Rock on!
This worked well for me. Thanks for the info. BUT, I actually installed the same tail light on my Harley. Maiden run the cover fell off (lost on the highway) They wouldn't replace it, but it's so cheap I bought another and put a zip tie on it. Now it seems they work when I go slow. But on the highway they don't work 😂😂
I gave up on trying to figure out my one turn signal staying solid, randomly got this is my recommended thank you

Brother, you are a life saver! I’ve seen a dozen videos and yours made way more sense. Thank you!!!
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered the relays and now I’ll have properly working blinkers tomorrow
Mi too
This was probably the best TH-cam video I've ever seen. You made it so simple man. Thank you!

Good idea! Glad it worked
Much thanks for this bud!! Been scratching my head for a week straight after I installed L.E.D.... thanks again!!
Exactly the fix I needed!!! First time Harley owner….cancelled my TSM order from Harley ….bought led resisters…. IM GOLDEN!! Thank you sir…
If anyone is going to make a video is is how you do it!! No bs, straight to the point and actually worked. Thank you for this video helped me out 100%

This worked perfectly for me!! thanks!!!! My buddy and i were struggling with this for weeks and after watching your video and sending $8, the problem was solved!!!
Brian Sutton Glad i could help!

Any recommendation on flasher relays? Dealing with this rn on my sportster
Just got a 99 Sportster a couple of weeks ago, and the previous owner fucked the turn signals up. This video was extremely easy to follow and now my bike is good to go! Thank you very much
Great video! Running into the same exact issue on my dyna after installing an LED tail light, same scenario as yours, all other lights stock. Going to order those same relays. Thanks again!!

Thank you so much. Like many others In the comments this is a big help. Put my new flashers and they just stay solid. Ordering my relays now
Just did mine! works perfect......there is an adjustable resistor on it so you can adjust flash rates.
Works on Dyna also Since you were the only one that could explain it correctly
No kidding, good to know! What year is your dyna?
Relocated and installed leds on my 93 Sporty. Works and looks great.
I know this is a 4 year old video, but thanks for the video! Doing LED on my 98 1200s soon and this is a huge help!

Whenever I turn on the left or right blinker the hazards come on is there any fix for that?
Thanks a lot from France for your clearly explained video.
