DIY Integrated Tail Light (cool way)

[PsHYk]

Ok so after a lot of questions and answers and searches and fails and retrying...im excited that i can finally sort of in a way contribute to the forum...or at least i think i am havent seen anyone else talk about this...but anway...
i finally got my integrated tail light to work (except it wasnt plug and play like Renner's (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...ight=plug+play)... lucky bastard ) and i also didnt have to cut wires (or wont have to).

So anyway... i just got my BikeMaster Flush Mounts (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...T.ac=SLIsearch)and remembering a thread on here from a month ago (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...t=flush+mounts) i went ahead and did my flush mounts like that. =D
So while i was doing that i was like hold up?
why cant i do my integrated tail light turn signals like that?
So instead of having to buy the OEM connectors from Eastern Beaver (http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/El...onnectors.html)
i now can just connect the resistor to the ground on one side and both of the power cables on the other side use a little electrical tape and walla...
no cutting and is easily reversible...

but as one question might come up is how is the blinking...to fast? to slow?
well the answer is it was pretty fast... =( but good news.. =D

thanks @Renner
so then i thought again... ....so i changed the bike master flush mount bulb to a 10W bulb and again walla...they now blink at about 2 blinks per second.

by the way wondering what resistors i used i just went to radio shack and bought 2... 50ohms 10 watt 10% tolerance resistor and it worked =D but tomorrow i might try to use some 100ohms ones for funsies and i will let you know how that turns out...

so for $30 for integrated tail light with free shipping $5 for resistors and $2 for electrical tape not a bad deal... =D

i will post pics tomorrow...
even though you can probably imagine what i did...


EDIT:so i went and got a 100ohms resistor and if you do that you dont need to switch the bulbs out...

Heres the pics nothing special just thought id post since i said i was...

hell yeah if it wasnt for your post i probably would have come on here to ask about what would make my light blink so fast and would have been at a stand still again...thanks again...
