Triumph Scrolling LED Indicators
I thought I'd ask on here since 1 or 2 people own triumphs
Has anyone got any experience with these Triumph scrolling LED indicators? I believe they are quite new. They have aluminium bodies and look to be decent quality. They are very pricey, but I'd rather that than have a cheap set fail after a year or so. https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk...dicators-front I'm considering them to replace the leaky, plastic, filament indicators that came on my Dorsoduro. The mounts on them look like the standard offset bolt and wire setup. I'm thinking that they should be better quality than most aftermarket plastic indicators because they are official Triumph items. I've heard they might need a different relay though because they are scrolling, so need to be on for longer. Opinions/thoughts? |

Was thinking about these for SV, contacted Alchemy and apparently they have built in resistor so will fit without modifying relay as the load current is same as a bulb. Out of stock at the moment though. Or these which have the 'scrolling' built in - it explains on website you can bridge out the contact on the flasher relay and the power to the indicators is just controlled by the switch on the handlebar - as long as power is on they will keep scrolling due to inbuilt electronics. https://www.alchemyparts.co.uk/motor...als-2-x-pairs/ The Triumph ones are mega expensive for just two indicators --

Re: Triumph Scrolling LED Indicators
The problem is that scrolling indicators have a different on/off ratio than normal indicators. They need to stay on for longer. So aftermarket scrolling indicators will have to do it very quickly to complete the scroll during the 'on' period.
I've seen videos of these types and they just don't look 'right' in my opinion. The Triumph indicators come with a relay (obviously designed for Triumph bikes but hopefully interchangeable with other bikes) which presumably flashes the indicators at a different on/off ratio |

Re: Triumph Scrolling LED Indicators
You may need to find out (if possible) the new relay switching cycle and finding a matching relay, or potentially an adjustable one you could time. Like this one

Re: Triumph Scrolling LED Indicators
The self scrolling indicators linked to on Alchemy site just need 12volts continuous supply and they will scroll as long as the power is on, it explains on alchemy website how to link out the relay so that the power to indicators is just controlled by handlebar switch - as for the others on Alchemy they have a parallel resistor in them that ensures they draw the same amps as normal 2x 21 watt bulbs so you can leave existing relay as it is. It is only a bi-metallic switch and heater in the relay that opens and closes at the proper speed when the correct load is passed through relay.
By law turn indicators have to flash between 60 and 120 flashes per minute.
