    Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the new flasher wiring to fit into the bike wiring please. I'm a bit of a dumb shit and am fearful of messing it up. Have the resistors. 20200516_113849.jpg 20200516_113849.jpg 20200516_113857.jpg 20200516_113849.jpg

    Your indicators are fed from the blue and orange plugs. Your new resistors will go in between the plugs and your new indicators.
    From your images I’m guessing that your new resistors are the yellow and black and the indicators are the black and red. Basically black to black red to yellow from one end of the resistor.
    The remaining black and yellow connect to your existing wiring.
    Keep your plugs and work with the slack. It looks like your orange and blue from each indicator will be going to the yellows.
    Leave your ignition off, do one side at a time and check before you start the other side.
    I don’t 100% know this is all correct but my best guess from your images.
    Best of luck mate.

    So cut the old connectors out and join the new wires to the bike somehow?

    Just done the right hand side and it's working but flashing quick. I thought the resistor would change this? Can someone confirm please.

    Are you installing led indicators ?
    If the indicators were working before and your new one has introduced a rapid flash then the resistor is not doing its job.
    How have you connected it up ?

    I've connected as you said above. Joined the wires that you've stated. The hazards flash normal but the flashers are quick.

    Sorry I didn’t even consider the hazards and I don’t know what impact they have. You might find the only way to rid yourself of the rapid flash is to swap the indicator relay out for an led one.
    Have you double checked your connections and swapped to a different new indicator ?

    Each of the 2 wires going indicator should have one of the led wires and a resistor wire on it.
