The problem with the LED lights is that they work intermittently. The connections are tight and I've wrestled with getting all that other stuff right and they still work correctly sometimes and not others. Maddening.

For instance, the Kisan turn signal/stop/running lights that stick on under the mirrors work sometimes and not others. One of the light units was bad but I sent it back and they reprogrammed it. After that, it worked at first and then the running and brake light features quit. Very sporadic.

Does that sound like a ground thing?

Turn signals that need programming sounds like trouble, to me.

What happened to "Simpla Fi"?

I had to quit the ABC because I didn't fall within the guidelines of their cannons, no more. I really don't like camping on a motorcycle.

Chuey, turn signals are 'sposed to work intermittently.

Have you tried speeding up the intermittance? :P

Edit. :idea: I might see if I can send mesself back for reprogramming.

I agree. I went with them because I figured that they would take the place of having a "signal on" indicator on the dash. My reasoning was that since they're under the mirrors, I'd notice them and not run down the highway with my signals a-flashing.

I'm pretty disenchanted with them now, at least for that bike. I've also wondered if the unit that replaces the diode board and voltage regulator makes them act up.
