Here's what I'm planning on trying. I'm going to replace the filament bulbs that are on my trailer with LED's to lower their power draw. Then it's replace the stock 650 taillight with an LED as well. Then I would like to find out if I only replace the front running/signal bulbs with LED's will the stock flasher still work. I wouldn't mind a little bit faster or slower flash rate. Maybe even find an LED for the tag light.

Somewhere down the line I'm thinking a same output, lower draw headlight (is there such a beast?). I run on my high beam at night most of the time and get no complaints from oncoming traffic, probably because I'm still dimmer than all those guys with dual head lamps and bright running lamps.

I'm thinking if I save enough power I can then use the 12v outlet I installed to recharge the 'puter, the cell phone, run a GPS, charge a deep draw battery for night time use back at the campground, install a radio and/or CB . . . The bike is just the biggest toy after all, not the only toy.

-------------------------
By the way, that 12v outlet makes a fine way to jump start the bike. I made a cable with a 12v plug on one ent and spring clamps on the other.

Take a bulb out and you'll find out.

It flashes faster.

They do make a flasher (oops) for LED lighting.  Search back and you'll find it.  Perhaps a year.

LED Flasher was about $20 when I looked at it.

If you want to save all the electrons for your toys, the stock flasher eats them big time.
