Welcome
Nice bike.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Use the search feature, you can find many posts on the subject. Did they come with resistors? The system has to have the same as stock load to work well.
Welcome to the Classroom. Nice Max.
Welcome WeeMan I dont,t know the technical answer but i can tell you this . Stock signal bulbs require a specified number of watts for the flasher to work and LED's have almost no watts by comparison. The forum should have some chatter about that or if you know someone who is handy with electricity. " Can't resist the twist"
Welcome.
LEDs fitted and working, I left the resistors in place then piggybacked a variable 3 pin LED flasher unit ontoHi,
Name is Stephen I live in Northants near Kettering and own a 1999 Gen1 VMAX.
Currently trying to get my indicators working after converting to LED’s.
the original 5 pin Denco unit. I removed the original flasher wire and replaced it with the new LED flasher wire.
Thanks for your comments.

If you feel you want to support by a donation just be forwarned its like a subscription to a time share!!! They feel free to charge you every year without warning! and now you have no one to even talk too about it.

All you have to do to cancel your recurring membership is to click your username at the right-top of your screen, then click 'supporting membership', scroll down and click the cancel button. Not really all that difficult, although I was also surprised the first time my membership renewed automatically. It's a worthwhile investment...plus - stickers!!!
I understand some may consider the auto renewal something they don't want, and that it should be told to them that is how it's set-up. As xoker mentioned, you can cancel that feature. I volunteer to do the moderator thing because I enjoy helping others work through problems, and to refer our members who offer services, like new and used parts, to those who need them I am one of those 'needy' people!
Also, sometimes I make a mistake, and someone will soon chime-in to correct me. My personal hobby is things VMax and I like to read what others have done, and the resources for new and used parts helps us to keep our bikes functional. The OEM parts are starting to become less and less, just look at a dealer's microfiche, and you will see that.
We need to keep this site economically-viable, because if it goes down, we all lose.

Not to drag this out any further I just want all to know that this site IS and has been one of the most well meaning really caring bike sites I have been a part of, and if I still had the beast would still be a part of. They do genuinely care about those who own and seek others' knowledge of this ICONIC awesome M/C. It was in my bucket since I first gazzed upon it @ waffle house way back when.. Unfortunately like Raquel Welch in her prime would probably wynde up hurting she is just too much in my later years. They helped me out of a few touchy problems I had with their expertise. U OWN A MAX U need to SUPPORT the SITE...
I just spent everything in my piggy bank to purchase my third, and hopefully last Vmax right before Christmas last year. It is the best Christmas present I ever bought myself, even though I knew it had some electrical issues. The week between Christmas and New Years Day, I bought a '01 to '07 service manual for it and began to read. But it did not answer many of my technical questions, and the electrical schematic was just too small for these old eyes.
So, I went on a quest to gain information from the net. That's when I found this forum. I have to tell you that after spending a day reading what members have said, and the help and respect you all show each other, I felt like I really wanted to become part of this international community. I had no idea there was a place like this, where I could talk to other like-minded Vmax enthusiasts. So, I joined.
Because I am now on a retiree's fixed income, I really do have to watch where I put my digressionary money. But this forum was a "no brainer" for me.
That said I chose to invest my money where I can get the biggest bang for my buck, supporting an organization that could be a role model for other forums.
Having been a member for a little less than a month, this forum has already given me way more than my annual subscription fee. The knowledge, expertise, and advice is free flowing on this forum, and I look forward contributing as I can. I expect I will want to renew my membership every year for as long as I own my Max, which I hope will continue to run like the banshee he is and bring me much exhilaration and many smiles over the rest of my life.
Special thanks to CaptainKyle, for helping me out with some great used parts, that I really need and could not find, and at a most reasonable price. You have exceeded my expectations. Long Live the Vmax Forum!
