			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m nearly done with my LED conversion. My new front turn signals came in yesterday evening. They&#8217;re all metal, chrome, LED goodness. I couldn&#8217;t have chose a better style to suit my front end.</p>
<p>

<p>I bought them on from <a href="http://www.demonscycle.com/Shop/Control/fp/SFV/31995" title="Demon Cycles" target="_blank">Demon Cycles</a>. Even though they are made in Taiwan, I can vouch that they are well made and brighter than any incandescent bulb. The chromed metal is flawless, and the lens cover and LEDs are well constructed. They are small, have a tiny footprint, and don&#8217;t stick out like traditional signals.</p>
<p>

<p>18 super bright LEDs. Two wires. Yellow = power, Black = ground. Plug and play. Easy. I popped them right into the orange and light blue harness. No need for the orange/white and light blue/white wires since I won&#8217;t be using these as running lights.</p>
<p>

<p>Step one: Remove the headlight bucket bolts. These are the same bolts that the wiring harness uses for grounding. The threaded bolts of my new signals will replace these.</p>
<p>

<p>The front signals now provide three functions: Signaling, holding the headlight bucket in place to the fork ears, and grounding the wiring harness. Nice.</p>

<p>Clean.</p>
<p>

<p>Tonight I&#8217;ll post some video of the new signals. They are extremely bright.</p>
<p>Next up on my moto agenda is to replace the gauge lights (speedo / tacho) with new LED bulbs. The bulbs in the gauges are burnt out most likely. I&#8217;ve never seen them illuminated. I&#8217;d like to replace the pilot light bulbs with LED as well. The only bulbs that work are the neutral and hi-beam indicators.</p>
