Lighting Options For 2002 HD Sporty

[Muzz]

So No 1 son dropped the question on lighting (read LED) to go on his new to him bike.  More to follow and some of you might receive pm's on this regarding the front lighting.

The main one though is in regards to the rear fender.  He wants to change the one fitted on it back to the original (which came with the bike).  However, the ONLY bit that did not come with the box of bits was the tail light. Murphy's Law.   he has found on line a nice looking rear tail light and no. plate holder, which has a nice looking integrated LED indicator unit. You can also get a matching front kit.

My question is, does anyone know if the HD flasher unit is electronically controlled and independent of current draw, or is it a bi-metal unit that needs X amps to flash?  In other words, can this unit drop straight in and work with no modifications.

Thanks in advance

You're overthinking it, Muzz.  The blinker either works or it doesn't.  If it doesn't there are drop-in LED-compliant blinker units, some with CAM correctors (doesn't give a bulb out warning).  They cost about the same as the regular kind.  There are HD-specific ones if you're worried about all the functions.  Probably even come in chrome.   

Check out the truk-light LED stuff.  I think they make a bunch of HD-specific LED conversions.  I'm satisfied with my 'series 7' module.  I don't know what size headlight a sporty has or what your rules are, so I can't offer much more than that.
