youll need a 10W 100ohm resistor to make them work, connect them in paralell. one each indicator

Surely your first concern should be your spacebar?:crazy:

You need a flasher relay for LED's. Any other option will be a pain in the arse. If you have bought indicators that are already a unit, then you shouldn't need to piss about with extra resistors. The flasher unit you are after is a Tridon HD12 from Super Cheese or Repco etc.
Thank me:clap:

I can fully agree with this. On my savage I replaced the indicators and had problems with the LED ones until I also replaced the flasher unit. However the SCA one would not work properly and wound up with one from a bike dealer for $30-$35.
