the link says it works with 12v negative ground systems, so i don't think resistors should be necessary.

 

The draw on the stock electrical harness for the stock turnsignals are 25watts, 7.5ohms X 4 (per each signal). I would check out the draw on the product you are buying. Match those up with the stock draw. If there is any difference you will need to get some resistor's. Now, with the plate light illumination you should be fine just as long as the light draws the same amount of amperage.

It is good to have load equalizer's or resistor's on hand. They are not expensive. I purchased 4 Radio Shack Resistor's 25watts, 10 ohms per resistor to equalize my MDWright Integrated TurnSignals & Brakelight. I also installed the Signal Dynamics Universal LED's in place of the front turnsignals and I used a Kuryakyn Load Equalizer to stabilize the front.

Remember, whatever you do out back is going to affect the front. The running lights/turnsignals/brakelight/plate light all work off the same electrical source, they are tied in together. If you follow my advise everything will work fine. Good Luck!

 

Thanks guys....man I love this forum!!!
So, Darkstar, I have been getting so much different info on the MD Wright Kit....do I need the resisitors (waiting for a core to come in to exhchange) for the MD Wright intigrator kit. If so, 4 will do the trick? 2 on each signal wire.

 

J,
I just returned my core 9 days ago so he has at least one coming in. Resistors come with the MD wright kit.
Installed a side mount plate and didn't use any resistors w/ the stock tail licence light wires.

 

J,
What Michael (MDWright) provides for resistor's is still not enough for the integrated system, it still blinks too fast. He has 4 - 25watt, 10 ohm resistor's already spliced and ready for install on the taillight when you get it back. You will need 1 - Kuryakyn Load Equalizer or another 2 - 25watt, 10ohm resistor's to get the front & rear blinkers down to normal blink rate. Attach those to the front signals. Or find the rear wire harness under the seat and splice in there, (more room). Trust me on this one. You will see the difference in blink rate once you do this. The fast blink rate did not bother me atr first, but it ate at me knowing it was not the correct amperage being drawn.

This is what I have.

4-25watt, 10ohm resistor's out back

and

1-Kuryakyn Load Equalizer in front

 

Ah,
Thinking about it, I did use a Kuryakyn load equalizer at the front but thats because I switched to LED running light and blinking lights at front.

 

Follow up thought.
My SO thought that the faster blinking lights (which I tried as an experiment) were actually more visible than the stock blinking speed.
YMMV

 

So, if I put 2 - 25 watt resistors in on the rear wiring harness (2 on each side), I should be good (I still have the factory front signals)
Twisted - thanks for sending in your core, mine is going to be shipped to him as soon as I get his. Only so many riding days up here, so I don't want to take a chance of not having a bike for a week.

 

No, on the stock blinkers up front and MDWright System. It will still blink faster then stock blink rate. You need to load equalize up front with stock or with after market blinkers. The whole system is tied in together. What MDWright provides for resistor's is not enough to return to stock blink rate, regardless if you have the front stock blinkers or led's. Splice in a Kuryakyn Load Equalizer up front and you will be fine.

 

Thanks Darkstar
Load equilizer is on order.
