The red indicator on the left is one to tell me that the ignition is not in the OFF position (when I get off the bike). The key easily comes out of the ignition switch in all positions...
If you care, here's it's circuit diagram.
It is tapped into the run lamp in the headlight.
I regret using a red LED as I now constantly think I have a motor problem when I glance at it.... If you're going to do this, use green, orange or yellow.
Oh Yeah?I converted mine and I STILL have forgotten too turn them off.angI forget less times now than before the LEDs but I do occasionally.Especially if I"m wearing a fullface lid which restricts my view of the idiot lights.I try to push the off button as soon as I do the turn too, but there's no fix for stupidang
I have programmed myself to push the cancel button immediately after every turn that requires the use of a turn signal and this seems to help. Or, you can get to be my age and use a bumper sticker that says "I am old, my turn signal is supposed to on.
The LEDs did help. At least now I can see it even in the bright sun. Still doesn't mean I won't forget. I guess I only have a few years of riding left in me. I'm 70, and losing my hearing, so a beeper on it is not going to help much longer. Rather die riding one of my bikes than in a rest home. ...J.D.
When I purchased my 2015 America it had a similar setup already installed. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the bracket for the led’s was mounted between the handlebar clamps, which then caused a very small amount of movement in the handlebars. Sorry I don’t have a better photo of it but it shows the problem. Like wire-wheels I replaced the standard bulbs with led’s. Works great for me.
Thanks for taking the time to share the detail, that is good.
