    Just wanted to throw a couple of cleansing ales at you folks from Australia for posting brilliant informative, inspirational pixel flicks on making bikes just that more wonderful! Thank you, and im pretty sure I can speak for all of the two wheeled brethren on our Island. ;-)

    I just installed led turn signals on my Triumph Bonneville T 120 and saw that the flashes were now really quick. I thought I’d done something wrong. Now I know why and how to fix it. Thanks guys.

      Done similar things and learnt Ohms’ law in a practical way.

    Talked a lot about the benefits of LEDs, didn't cover much in the way of wire sizing, actual wire diagrams, adding lights, balancing loads, or the differences between different items you sell online. Some of your older content on wiring is good, but I was hoping for more. Still love your work. Thanks for all you do.

    I love these videos! I would love some more details though on the actual wiring :) im about to buy your 3phase regu/rec for my r80/7 (y)

    Can you cover the waterproof connections? The Mizu P25 as well as Apex high voltage. When and how to use ?

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  4 года назад +1

      This is definitely in the works. We use a few other connectors and there's a few that I want to work with so that we can distill it down to just what we consider the best connector for any task on a bike.

      Revival Cycles Sounds great. Do you use SuperSeal too?

    Hey guys. Can you tell us about the bike in the thumbnail? That’s one awesome rear end.

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  4 года назад +1

      That is a Ducati MH900e owned by our media producer Gareth Roberts. You can read all about it here www.bikeexif.com/ducati-mh900e-cafe-racer

    Problem.. got the blaze pins for my front signals. Tried both series and parallel wiring . If my front light is on , my back is off. If the front is disconnected the rear comes on. I'm stuck. Any idea ? How to get 2 blinkers turned on at once?

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  2 года назад

      Have you swapped the old flasher relay for an LED compatible one? That's my preferred solution but if you have just one dash indicator light that flashed for both left and right then you may be better off using load balance resistors in parallel to each of your LED signals.

    Which model of Ducati shown in the video picture?? My neighbor had this bike in red and I have been looking for the model for some time.

      Nick Blanco it’s a custom build based on a Mile Hailwood rep MH900e

    Hello.
    Have you ever installed 4 mini Pods LED Analog brand indicators on a Bonneville T120, 2016? I'm asking you because my indicator lights work good, they flash good, I also set it up on type 4.
    But when I turn on the hazard lights, the hazard lights don't work.
    Kind of weird.
    Should I change the diod flasher or relay?
    Something bad w/ the harness connection?
    I would appreciate it.

      The ohm rating on the bulb (genuine) is 1.5 if helps.

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  4 года назад

      We've never worked with Analogs components. Have you emailed Tony for support? You can always shoot an email to techsupport@revivalcycles.com and the guys might be able to help.

    is this a how-to-video?!

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  4 года назад +2

      Frank Peutz it’s part of a series of ongoing short films that discuss motorcycle wiring as a whole, that involve discussions, and instructional videos. This strand discusses the broad principles of different aspects of motorcycle electrics, we will be featuring deeper dives into specific techniques later in the series. If you watch the introduction film to the series we explain this in detail.

    Change the title to "Why are LEDs so cool." . I can look up wiring diagrams on google too. What I needed to know was
    How to choose the right wires and components?
    What are the amp and volt ratings for said components and how to know?
    How and where to mount them?
    Should I use solder or crimping?
    What specialty tools would I need?
    This video din't show us jack shit about how to wire an LED on a motorcycle.
    Note: I just read a few of your replies to a comment pointing out the same thing. You are still a small channel. When your viewers point out that they are not happy with the quality of your content and you respond with a snobby and snarky reply, you are not doing yourselves any favors.

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  4 года назад +3

      Naveen Kumar many of the questions you ask will be directly addressed in future episodes, this is part of a series, not a stand alone video. That’s clearly stated right up front in the Introductory episode. The logic is we explain the broad principles first, so people who have little understanding of motorcycle electrics are given an overview, and we explain the logic behind our recommendations, and we then show how to do it. There’s simply too much information to put into one film. Hence a series. Also much of what you demand is so model specific, it would be impossible to show every variation. We’re quite happy to engage with your feedback, but when your tone is insulting and aggressive from the git go, you’ll get push back.
