    Hello all. Ive been dealing with a work injury and unable to use tools or my bike for most of the year. Well its time to do my winter project, and this year its LED's.
    Ive been though my electrical system several times and feel like I have all (most) of my issues solved. Ive had my 550 seca for 8 years now and still in good shape. Have done all the tunes, electrical upgrades, etc.
    That all being said, Ive gone though the searches and see bits and pieces here and there about this conversion.
    Does anyone have a good start to finish list with what I need to purchase to convert everything (12-13 light total)?
    Has the flasher canceler issue been solved? (last posting was several years ago).
    I would also like to add (while Im doing all of this);
    Break light flasher (initial flash while breaking)
    Nighttime running lights (Im thinking that when I switch my lights to low beam my turn signal lights light up), Im not looking for blinding flash, so I may end up wiring in a separate single led, just for a low glow with limited draw.

    seca 550 has no plate light bulb this may be a problem for plate lumination with led. my seca came with led tail lights and it does not light the plate. maybe I have the wrong lens in the tail light all red .
    4 to 5 bulb leds for the speedo and tach and other cluster bulbs

    Odd, the underside of my tail light is clear plastic and lights up the plate, is mine not factory? Oh, it's a light intensity change not a second light back there also.
    Thanks for the links, now to bug chacal for all the parts.
