LEDs work fine on AC current. Well, sort of. They will light when the AC current is flowing in the right direction, so in reality they will flash at half the Hz rating (typically 60 Hz) of the AC current. This will be faster than the human eye can see, so they will appear to be constantly on.

Now you just need a 3 position switch and those signals are good to go! Put the flasher relay you bought between the spot you splice into power and the switch so you only need 1 of them. Then wire the pair of flashers from each side of the bike to one side of the switch.

Makes total sense ... The flasher relay works on heat believe it or not. A bimetal strip (two different metals laminated) as they heat at different rates the current causes the strip to bend and break the circuit, it cools reconnects the circuit hence a blinking light. Basically an automatic on-off switch An Electronic flasher (typically used fro LED blinkers) would not have worked for you. Keep at it. Al ittle more wiring and a left-right switch good to go.

Wiring a tachometer is extremely simple you just need to wrap a wire around your spark plug wire and send it up to your tach, the meter will be using frequency to translate to RPMs. Just like if you're the measure frequency in your wall outlet in the USA it's 60 hertz which is the same as 1800 RPMs on an engine if the generator is 4 Pole.
@SeasideStrangler6 жыл бұрын
For turn signals you can probably get a 3-way switch, ground it. Hook up positive to left side on one end of the switch and positive to the right side on the other end of the switch and leave the middle switch open.

All you need is a separate lithium battery to power the flasher, switch and brake switch. Just wire separately. Place it under seat with a charging plug accessible.

When I was younger I always wanted to do this to my 1981 Yamaha IT 125 Enduro. At the time it was very difficult to get a kit that would work as turn signals. My question is how would you get the tail light to function properly you'll have to figure out how to rig up some sort of stop switch. Also if you put the inverted forks on hopefully the headstock will fit although if it's an identical bike it should. I enjoy your videos.

It has been a long time since I fooled with a magneto equipped vehicle. It's ac only for your ignition system.. There is a rectifier in the system somewhere that converts ac to dc for the headlight, tail light and now for your turn signals. It's sort of like your car that has an alternator(ac) but the rest of the car is dc. In a car it's called a regulator that converts ac to dc.
