Blinkers relay question

[naughtyG]

So I fitted these nice LED blinkers I got from the guy who sold me my larger tank and rear mudguard. They came with resistor packs ( I think that's what they are) that connect between the bike harness and each indicator.

They work good and are very bright, but my blinker relay seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to deciding on the blink rate.. Sometimes they blink at normal speed, most of the time they blink twice as fast as they should. It seems to get more 'normal rate' on the right :ummm:

So anyway, my question is: is there a straight relay replacement from a car or bike that's electronic (doesn't care what the load is) anyone know of? I don't care for the self-cancelling, never use it anyway. I just want something that blinks at the right speed and fits in the connector as it is..

Thanks!

Just put 'LED Indicator relay' into a search engine and you will gel more hits than me in a boxing ring.

Yea I've seen some at those shops, but they all have only two or three connections. The max relay has 6. Which ones get wired?

I used one of these http://www.customled.com/products/flasher_relay/flasher_relay.htm

I believe i pulled the brown and brown/white wires out from the 6 prong stock plug and connected them to the 2 leads of the new flasher. Works great with the LEDs.

That is correct but I also removed the bulb in the instrument cluster to stop all the lights flashing.Kevman.

Woohoo! I did pull the Brown and Brown/White wires out of the connector, plugged them into this Custom LED relay and it's happy days - now my LED blinkers blink at a normal rate at last!

Cheers to everyone who chimed in
