What do I need to buy for functioning rear LED indicators?
 
I am thinking that all I need is the LED indicators and some load resistors wired together to get the proper speed flashing LED indicators, would this be right? Thinking of getting the following below?

Thats one way of doing it - and the wrong way.

The resistors will just create heat, which may (not guaranteed and its pretty unlikely) cause problems.

A much better solution is to replace the Flasher Relay.

Ok thanks, did a bit more looking and I'm thinking that too now.

What LED indicators have you got or recommend as some of them I have read are crap and worse than the stock indicators?

My Oxford Nano's are well made

I've got Oxford saturn led Indys. No probs in 12 months using flasher relay. Ride in all weathers too. Still fine.

Dkid, are they brighter or dimmer than stock? Thanks

About the same tbh. Not much in it either way. Wait half hour and I'll try & post a vid once I'm on lunch break

That's brilliant, much appreciated. They look good by the way. Can I ask where you bought and for how much?

here for the indys and here for the spacers that fill the hole left by the stock ones.

ebay for the flasher relay. see http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=174160 for the link to the relay that I bought.
