So, I want to change my I.S. turn signals, brake light (super valk), and dash lights over to LED. The bike is equipped with the Signal Minder self cancelling turn signal kit with all of the options hooked up. It is my understanding the SM will handle the LED bulbs without any diodes or the like installed?

After looking through Super Brights web site I selected the following bulbs: 1157 LED Bulb - Dual Intensity 3 x 2 Watt High Power LED (front turns and rear brake), 1156 LED Bulb - Single Intensity 3 x 2 Watt High Power LED (rear turns), 74 LED Bulb - 3 SMD LED Wide Angle Wedge Base Cool White (dash).

I just wondered if anyone has used these style bulbs and what you think.   

Thank You!

I have swapped nearly all bulbs to LEDs from SuperBright.  Can't remember the exact bulb numbers, but I followed the recommendation of chrise2469 on this board.  He goes into a lot of detail.  Search on "Superbright" to find a lot of help.

Thanks Bob,

I ordered the bulbs I listed and couldn't be happier with the results! Now I just have to get the dash bulbs changed out to finish it. Hopefully this Sunday I can tear the fairing apart to get the dash bulbs swapped.
