Switching Bike Over to LEDS?

I've been researching how to convert my 1981 kz750 LTD over to use LED signals and brake light. Its my understanding I will need to purchase a flasher? I've been unable to track down which flasher would be suitable and the method to install it. I'm also curious as to how difficult the wiring would be, as I have no real electrical experience. I've seen alot of pictures of bikes that have been converted to LEDs so i know many of you have done this before. Any help or information on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Also if you have any advice for me on what lights I should purchase or what to look for would be great.

Go to superbrightleds.com. For the lights you want to replace, use their 3W Luxeon "drop in" replacements for 1156 and 1157 bulbs. They are a little brighter than stock incandescent bulbs.

They also sell the solid state flasher units.

FYI: there are tons of LEDs out there and about 99.99% of them are not bright enough to safely use as turn signals and brake lights.
