Love your videos man. I just got an RE GT650 and want to swap out some of these things. No nonsense, to the point, solid explanations and good shots of what it is you're actually doing. I'm not very mechanically talented but want to swap out/clean up some of these stock things that just make the bike look silly if you keep it completely as it was from the factory.
Thanks, glad you're finding the videos usefull!
You Sir, know how to make an install video!!!! Just watched this one as a first and IMMEDIATELY subscribed!!!! I have the exact same bike and I'm excited to watch your next one to see what other improvements you've done!!!! Any chance of the link to the relay you purchased?
Thanks, glad you found it helpful! Got the flasher relay off Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WFC194B
I like the original turn signals
Nice video
Thanks
Could you please provide the link to the relay? Excellent vid, you saved the day!! Thank you!
I ordered this relay from Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WFC194B/
@@RideWithJerry Thanks a ton for quick reply!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for! Before I get started, what happens if I leave the rear stock turn signals as they are and only change the front turn signals and the relay? Would that mean that the rear and front indicators would flash at different frequencies then? Would I have to change all 4 (unless I want to use resistance for the front LEDs)?
You can change the front and keep the rear stock. They all flash together at the same speed.
@@RideWithJerry Awesome, thanks for the swift reply! You got yourself a new fan :)
Nice job Jerry....im really enjoying watching your bike come to life!!!! Ever thought about swapping out those clunky beige headlamp brackets for something sleek and black?
Thanks! - I do have black headlight brackets now! Also installed black clip-on handlebars and changed the intake covers, heel guards, foot pegs, brake, and gear levers all to black... I just haven't created any new videos in about six months.
@@RideWithJerry I bet it's looking awesome!!!! Ride safe!!!!
@@RideWithJerry maybe do a "total mods done" video!!!! 🙂🙂
Great Videos. Would be better if you could post the links of the purchases you made. Have a wonderful day
Good idea to start posting links in teh description... here the link to the indicators: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T6JAK92
Bro how did you open this indicactor connector, i am trying to disconnect the indicators but its plugged in too tight. I am afraid i might break the plastic if i pull to hard, is there a trick to this?
Nice bike, do you need to change the relay for led turn signals?
Yes - in the video I show changing and adjusting the relay: czcams.com/video/fqb51gu9vos/video.html
Think these would fit on the back also? The seat support bar seems a bit close. Curious is there’s enough room from the back of the light to the support bracket.
Not sure if they fit on the back. You may also need to change the stock taillight for them to fit since they only stick out 1 inch (2.5cm) and would probably hit the taillight. I did a shorty tail conversion and used different rear turn signals.
Hi Jerry, just curious… does that resistor effect the front and back indicators ? Asking as I’m thinking of doing the same upgrade but I noticed that you haven’t changed the rear indicators in this video and they still seemed to be flashing at the same rate?
Yes, the relay controls the flashing speed of all the indicators together.
Just curious....had you ever considered bar-end signals? Trying to determine if it's worth the trouble when you've made this look so easy.
I briefly thought about it but decided to go with the torpedo signals. I like the look of the torpedo signals, and being larger, feel they are more visible than the bar end signals.
Now that it’s been several months, I’m curious as to how those nuts held up considering that the bolt didn’t even make it through all the way? I’m asking because I’m having the same issue with the indicator lights I bought being that the headlight brackets are so thick and most indicator lights come with relatively short bolts.
They've held on tight and I haven't had any issues with the indicators moving or coming loose... but yes, wish the indicator bolts were just a little bit longer.
Do you know if these can be installed with the RE genuine wind screen? Will the new LED's be long enough to mount through brackets on the bike and windscreen. They mount on the same instert.
Yes, but just barely! I have the RE fly screen attached and there is just enough lenght to mount. It doen't go all the way through the nut but it's tight & secure enough to hold. Photos: imgur.com/a/yNqZBJP
@@RideWithJerry great news! I appreciate the reply and photos!! Thank you!
Please tell me which headlight you are using and can you please drop these indicator Amazon international link.. thanks
This is what I used:
Headlight: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074PQ8T2B/
Front Indicators: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T6JAK92/
What led headlight did you go with? Looking for one myself. Did you need any adapter for that?
No adaptor needed. The pro is the headlight was cheap, only $50. The con is that the headlight is cheap! Ha, maybe I'm bing too picky... it has great reviews but I don't like the way it casts three separate beams of light. I find the shadows between teh beams to be distracting.

hello how about the older signals used? can you tell me something or where to buy?
The stock signals came with the bike so not sure where to buy... I'm sure you can find used signals on sites like eBay since a lot of people upgrade to aftermarket signals.
I just bought some front indicators that have a wire for running lights but can't find the freaking wire for it. I tried using the low beam wire but when I go to use the indicators, they don't blink. I had to disconnect it. Do you happen to know which wire in the light housing is for the running light? Or would the relay help to solve this problem? 🤔 Thanks in advance for any direction!
Not sure. Did you try the accessory connection? There is an an unused accessory connection plug insiside the headlight.
Hmm. I did not, but don't recall seeing an unused accessory plug today but will check again. Either way, I bought the relay and my dad who used to be a master electrician said that was probably the reason. Voltage and shit.
You can use the positive supply to the instrument lights for the running lights
@@ChrisM-hz4og thanks for the tip!
I am a electronical noob but was just wondering.. is it ok to just "combine" two cables like that by intertwining them?
Electrical noob also... twisting the wires together and covering with electrical tape works (haven't had any issues.) You can also twist, solder and heat wrap for a better hold. Last option is get new connectors.
What kind of flasher relay is that?
amzn.to/3isBeuw
dude but why not just some LED bulb
In my opinion, the stock indicators are ugly! Too big, plastic chrome, yellow light covers... I wanted smaller and black with clear light covers (match the bike better.) Simply changing the bulb would not give me what I wanted.
@@RideWithJerry dude 😎 it's a morden classic bike, it needs to look like that 🤔
Its painful to see you cut those wires of the signal light. You could have open the light and remove from there.
I did open but I still had to cut since I wanted to use the original connector with the new turn signals.
You're not an electrician, are you? Why did you keep the rest of the original cable from the reflector? You should have run the new cable all the way into the terminal box in the reflector!!
3:14 i get a brain tumor, your damaging the whole bolt because of the fact that you don't use the right tools m8
Wow you use a ratcheting screwdriver without ratcheting. Why even bother breathing air?
Ha, sometimes easier to go round n round than back n forth!
