I recon they look better than the Drag Spec ones as well. Lower profile and better style.

Wow, they must be non existent, mine are 25mm wide, by 12.5 mm thick by 12.5 mm deep. Not sure you can get more compact than that. Style is exactly the same!

Have a look at the browns industries website on face book much better pics
Of them Thay look a lot more slim line than the drag spec ones
I would say I’m in favour of them if I was to purchase them
Thay fit a lot more closer to the hand control by the looks of them

Got mine fitted on Wednesday , very tidy unit HD mechanic said good quality .
On the ride home the dash blinker lights were flashing very quickly , thought maybe I need a load equaliser to fix the blinkers but when I had a look at the actual blinkers they were flashing normal , I have a Chopz eliminator on the rear with the LED lights in it also
So I suppose all good .
Fitted on a 2018 fatboy

Hey mate,
So the front are very simple just a cute and re wire kinda job,

As stated few bikes ill say 10% of what i have done, need a load equalizer but 90% have been sweet!

Rear i would suggest a tail tidy we have browns set up alot cheaper than a chop Z

Hey mate and cheers!
Im no auto electrician but the front shouldn't impact the rear. few Ideas

1. Load equalizer
2. wires touching or not soldered right
3. Wires pinching on something

did you touch anything on the back ?

Feel free to msg me on fb or IG so we can chat and see what the problem is cheers

Hey Ricca can you let me know your details so I can get some indicators from you guys. Also some instruction on how to fit them and what I might need if they don't work properly. I am thinking load equaliser although my bike should have one for the rears but who knows. Cheers potluk

Gidday mate just wondering how far back you cut the wiring. Do you even have to take the hand controls off

hey Mate,
you dont need to no,

Just cut it so their is enough to join the 2 together and solder it together, i always leave just enough incase i screw up and need to re cut ha,

Then remember to put the heat shrink on before joining the wire :)

I installed as follows.....
cut the existing two core cables close to the existing indicators. Soldered the ends to the ends of the new indicator cables and shrunk heat shrink over the join. Sprayed a bit of WD40 in to the bars via the cable access slot near the grips, located the cables under the headlight and carefully pulled the cables back down the handlebars, effectively using the existing cables as a draw wire. Then I had two options:

1. Make the solder joint in the headlight housing with individual heat shrink around each joint and one overall the entire area.

2. Buy the 2 x $5 connectors and pins and do the job properly without cutting and joining. The connectors are easy to get to if you prop the tank up.

I used option 2 but considered option 1 during the install.

Cutting and joining the old cable close to the new indicators will look shit if you cannot pull the joint back in to the bars in my opinion.

(PS. Rehabilitating the old indicators is easy enough using the existing cable you cut, here is a YouTube video detailing it https://youtu.be/VmK1USM-ZuY)

Good luck.

Just an FYI, you can get heatshrink that has a glue inside, it will make the joint waterproof. It is a little more than std stuff, but might be worth it on an exposed join on a bike.

Found this the other day, might help someone...
I've never had to use a load equalizer on my 2010,2011 or 2012.
I just turn on the ignition and go back and forth with the left blinker, right blinker repeat for a bunch of times. Has always worked so far to stop the error blinking.

The CANBUS bikes will relearn using the hazzard flashers.

Is there a version of these that will show white (as a running light) when not active as an indicator?
(I realise thanks to the stupid differences between HDI and HD models I'll need to run an extra wire from the lighting for the running light)
Waa thinking of replacing the current bulbs on my 18 FXBB with Dynamic Rings, but these looks really sleek

Yeah I use this 100% on the bike. Bloody good stuff from JarCar shops.
Also I only needed one resistor per side when I went to LED turn lights. Mounted it UNDER the bike frame under the tranny and cabled directly to the flasher box.
