Well after installing the mirrors I decided to go for the turn signals as well. These are the 25 LED turn signals that Moto-Science sells as a replacement for the ever so faulty Buell 1125's. I just got tired of taking my bike to the dealer everytime one went out and was going to put the 2010 bulb turn signals on when I found these.

I'm assuming they have 25 LEDs all though I didn't count them and the are a lot brighter than the stock ones which only have 3 LEDs.

Will these bolt up to/wire in to the stock harness without a problem?

They bolt right up and since they don't utilize the secondary positioning hole on the bracket once tight you can rotate them to point slightly up towards the drivers behind you and not straight back.

The wires are plenty long and a good quality wire and insulation making them very easy to strip for crimping. And they wire right in, just as quick as you can strip four 22 gauge wires and crimps. Make sure you let them know you are ordering them to install on a Buell so that the 4 male bullet crimps can be swapped out for 2 male and 2 female bullet crimps.

The wires on these turn signals are 2-3 inches longer than stock. I didn't measure them but rather held them up besides each other which is great if you have the EvoTech license plate bracket as a little extra wire is sometimes needed with it.

I did strip back the out black rubber insulation about an inch or so I could shorten the positive lead slightly as not only does the Buell wiring harness use different male / female crimps (so you don't hookup the positive to ground) but also one of the two wires on the harness is slightly longer ( I think the ground ) than the other and so I reversed this on the turn signal.

A couple of small black zip ties would have been nice to have included in the package as the EvoTech license plate bracket uses zip ties to hold the wires in place.

Those look great. Did you have to add resistors to slow the flash rate?

I had already replaced my stock mirrors / turn signals with the ones you see in the top picture and those only have 4 LEDs which caused the blink rate to increase even with the stock rear turn signals.

I'm not sure if you would need to add resistors to them if you are using the stock mirrors / turn signals. I would guess not as the stock turn signals has 3 LEDs and these have 25 smaller LEDs. But couldn't say for sure if there is a load difference.
