Merry Christmas, everyone!
Wanted to share this led project on my '21 R3R with anyone interested in swapping out the giant indicators (US market). It's a very straight forward job, and with the right parts, it's 100% plug n play. I shared some of these pictures on the Facebook page, and I've seen interest in the past on there as to what resistors should be used to keep the bike happy. Here's a rundown on what I purchased:
-Rizoma Club led indicators (each one comes with 2 resistors)
-Rizoma pigtail electrical wire adaptors
-Motogadget stem adaptors
I've toyed with a few different led indicator setups on my last Thruxton R, and Rizoma always provide such a top quality piece, so Rizoma was a no-brainer. The tricky part is always figuring out how many resistors need to be installed inline, or if any at all. I approached this project like I did on my Thruxton R (almost certain it's a CANBUS system like the 20/21 Rocket). I'll give a brief overview and insert some pictures for reference.
On my Thruxton, I had two resistors installed on the front (one per side), but none out back. This nailed down any blinkers issues on that bike, and did the same on the Rocket. Thankfully there is tons of room under the front fly screen to take on more hardware and wires. The rear is a bit tricky if you still have the factory mud guard/plate setup. I was able to tuck the full length of wire from the Rizoma setup, but opted out the use of the resistors. Sure enough, it worked. Turn signals work as they should and so do the hazards (no fast blinker). Obviously, every make of led indicator may come with different results, but figured this could give most a ballpark idea of what you're getting into and what things look like once opened up (especially the rat's nest in the front). For their size, the Club is a VERY bright and noticeable indicator. Strongly recommend them.
Let me know if there are any questions! On to some random pictures;
