    Indicator Connector Parts?

    Thanks, I believe you! However, I've come to learn RE likes to use different electrical connector types per bike model, and seem to even change that up between production runs within the same model - infuriating. When looking at the connector housings on the Yazaki website, they don't match...

    Indicator Connector Parts?

    Thanks much, those are the closest I've seen yet, but still not quite right. This pic is what we're dealing with. At this point, I'm just going to bite the bullet and order from Hitchcock's - pay the overinflated price.

    Indicator Connector Parts?

    Thanks, but I'm not installing new indicators, just converting the stock ones to running lights with another in-line part. Which I need to change the connectors on to match RE or vice versa. So yes, I'm trying to track down the actual technical name for that connector part so I can order them...

    Indicator Connector Parts?

    Yeah, I checked them first, but these connectors aren't listed. Plus I've emailed them in the past about other parts and gotten no reply back, and their social media is years out of date. So I think cycleterminal.com is out of business.

    Indicator Connector Parts?

    Hello, all, just wondering if anybody knows what the connector type is that's used on the Meteor and Himalayan indicators? Hitchcoks sells them, but am having a hard time coming up with another source (in the U.S.)...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    Thanks for the idea, but sorry that won't work. RE Meteor's and Himalayan's use a proprietary relay now with a 2.8mm 4-pin electrical connection. That's the problem, they used to use a standard 2 or 3-pin like most bikes use, but not anymore, and even that depends on which model and year you...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    RE seems to put a different relay part on with each different model and then they change that every other year, so there's quite a variety out there, just depends on your own bike. The newer Meteor's and Himalayan's have a custom 4-pin flasher relay. You can just drop LED bulbs into the signal...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    If you look in the Himalayan forum, there's a thread already about converting to LED by modifying an automotive EP29 relay for the bike. This is where I learned what I need to do for my Meteor. The relays are probably the exact same part, but the wiring harnesses are different between the two...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    It's the same stock indicator relay I have on my Meteor, which is not LED friendly.

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans” – John Lennon. I'll make the video someday soon. In the meantime, you can wire your own? Get the bike wiring diagram out of the back of your Service Manual, match that up with the wiring diagram for an automotive EP29 relay...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    Yes, I figured it out, and as I said I will soon be making a YouTube video demonstrating the fix and how to do it yourself. At least for US models. Basically you have to adapt a 4-pin automotive LED relay with a 2.8mm electrical connector to hook it up with the stock wiring harness. Also...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    Yes, 30087 is a postal code, if you click it, it will take you to a map of the Atlanta, Georgia area in the United States where I am located. According to a similar post in the Himalayan forum, looks like RE changed to a proprietary part for the flasher relay in 2021, at least for the US...

    LED Indicator Upgrade Help?

    Hello, all, I'm trying to upgrade the indicator bulbs on my '21 Meteor to LED, because I've about gotten run over more than once when trying to make turns. So need something brighter and more obvious! The main thing I need help with is, replacing the stock 4-pin flasher relay. I don't want...

    2021 Himalayan LED flasher relay?

    Hey, all, am in the same boat with my '21 Meteor 350 and upgrading to an LED friendly flasher relay. Am willing to try an EP29 flasher and wire a new connector into the harness, but am having trouble tracking down a compatible socket. Anybody know what that part is called or where to get it...
