Build: Solid State Turn Signal Flasher

They are amber, didn't think it was kosher, just want to be more visible. I can put in some more red LEDs in the rear bumper, that way they could flash, then go on solid. There are no "dual purpose" lights on the bike, brakes are brakes, running lights are running lights and turns are turns. I am just trying to save every bit of current I can, and I know a solid state flasher is less than the ones in the store. I plan on putting EFI on the bike, and only have 30 amps to work with total, so cutting down where I can. I can still use more lights than original so long as LED and cut the draw way more than 1/2

You can paint the amber lenses with red candy color paint. That's what I did to make auxiliary brake lights on mine. I can look up the paint color if you need it. It matches the stock brake light color exactly.

that way they could flash, then go on solid.

If nobody else here has a circuit to do that, I could design one with a pair of 555 timers. I just can't do it today because I came down with the flu today and have a high fever and a headache that is crushing my head.

Thanks Bounty Hunter. I have no intent of changing the color of the turn signals, like the amber, I will just add some red LEDs to the rear bumper. The brake lights are in the Vetter trunk, and that is kind of high, so I will put some in low. If you could send me a design, any time that would be great. No rush, I have a LOT of stuff to do before hand. If I got something in 4 or 5 weeks that would be plenty fast enough. I still have some 2.5 inch aluminum bar stock to make into turn signal pods for the front, then similar for the rear. The rears will be a lot less involved, and will probably only need 1.2x2.5 inch aluminum. The fronts, each chunk of bar stock is going to get cut up and will have probably 75% of its weight in chips on my shop floor, and will take probably 5 hours each to make! I have a youtube channel with some of what I do at www.youtube.com/user/GrasshutPerformance...eos?view=0&flow=grid
I really appreciate your help, and sharing your expertise, if I can ever do the same please let me know. Hope you get better soon, being sick really sucks! Lost most of a summer of car shows and bike riding because of health issues, really blows!
God Bless
