Thanks - much appreciated. Yes, I'm waiting now on the ELFR-1 relay to arrive.

correct, with the ELFR-1 no resistors have to/should be used, but if one resistor on each side is not used with OEM relay, flashers won't workkk3an said:Thanks - much appreciated. Yes, I'm waiting now on the ELFR-1 relay to arrive.

Yep... 100%... don't mess with any of those resistors.. On our US bikes there is some type of issue. I was chasing my tail for a few months.. Just get the new LED flasher relay, plug it in and be done.. They have worked perfect from that day on .. !!!! ::012::HoebSTer said:Karson, you are missing something. You will need to use the ELFR-1 LED Flasher Relay where you disconnect the one from factory and plug in this one. YOu won't be needing or using the resistors. If you don't believe me, skim through this whole thread. Jaxon - Tabasco just encountered this same issue after installing the resistors and they stopped working properly. Search ELFR-1 on google for source if you can't find it on first couple pages.
That's where I was... We have at out disposal a TON of LED lights to offer.. I broke down and got the Yamaha ones from Europe. That was "fun"... I will say that the 'Yamaha' ones are probably made in China along with 95% of the rest of the LED blinkers on the market. I thought that the Yamaha blinkers would be the best rout to not have any issues with blinking, Etc.... I was wrong.. If I had to do over, I would just get some 'cheapies' along with the ELFR and be done with it.... Save a lot of time and money... Just my $ .02 There are LED blinkers that look similar to the Yamaha ones for $25-30 bucks out there...johnpitts01 said:IS there any consensus on the best LED blinkers?
I am tempted to go for the Yamaha blinkers with the ELFR.
But we can't get them in USA so I would need to order from UK or Canada.
TT seems stupid expensive.
The Ebay stuff just has too many questions for me.

1) somewhat smaller than stock (but not teeny-tiny, they need to be visible afterall)

5) not junk

I purchased these DMP signals - see link below....stevepsd said:Anyone found a nice set of LED turn signals that are:

Yes they have a rubberized stalk and are flexible but not as flimsy as the stock blinkers.johnpitts01 said:Are the Yamaha LED blinkers "flexible".
Not a rigid stalk, but a rubberized stalk like the stock blinkers?
So they do not break readily, but rather have a little give. So that in an encounter with a bush for example it will bend but not break.
Just paid for two sets of these ... US$0.99 + US$10 for sipping ... less than $30 for both sets ... ordering an ELFR-1 next.Karson said:Just purchased the ELFR-1 so I can be done with it. I'm about to leave on a week long trip to San Francisco and figured I'd knock the install out today before I left, now the bike is disassembled until this saga continues when I get back.
I concur with Jaxon in saying 95% of the LED blinkers are Chinese made. I went with TT under the illusion it would be plug and play after looking at the instructions (very limited). I was wrong and I'm still going to have to do my own wiring, albeit about as basic as it comes. The only convenience is the mounting plate hardware is included.
Knowing what I know now, I'd send the whole thing back to TT and buy the LED's off eBay and reimburse someone to fabricate the oval mounting plates. ::010:: ::010:: ::010::
These same blinkers are what ship with the TT package - right down the the imprinting on the lens.
