Hi Scrap found this whilst surfin . Thought of you when i saw it seeing as you are doing Janes one day. Gives me more of an idea so thats a plus. Didn't see any sharks while i was surfin though. ;D ;D Cheers Ray Attention ! If the new turn signals are replacing the stock front turn signals, you must install the supplied load equalizer. If the new turn signals will be used in conjunction with the stock front turn signals, you will not need to install the load equalizer. Attention ! For bikes using Küryakyn Panacea taillights, any additional load equalizers must be wired in upstream of the Panacea control module. STE P 11 Remove the seat and identify the main wiring harness going to the tail lights and rear turn signals; refer to your factory service manual for harness location. STE P 12 Splice into the stock harness and connect the load equalizer, refer to FIG.3. Carefully insulate your splices and secure the wiring away from any pinch points or excessive heat. STE P 13 Load equalizers generate heat when in use; secure the load equalizer away from any heat sensitive components. We recommend securing the load equalizer to the bike frame as this will act as a heat sink, helping to cool the load equalizer.

Yep now worries Scrap. Question ;that i haven't seen much ado about and that is when changing pipes like say your mate Kirky55 what happens to the gas arresters ,sensors or whatever they are called on the oem pipes. Does the say v&h pipes have locatins for these or do become obselite and if thats the case does it then effect the bike in any way. Sorry about the questions here mate but you do sound like a man that knows his stuff. ;D Whoops nearly forgot love your little smiley where you find him or her .( Can't be sexist here) ;D ;D Cheers Ray

Ray,
Haven't researched this on the shadow -(bike is loud enough as it is without adding something like V&H pipes).
My experience is that most sensors are in the manifold, not in the exhaust piping so its a bolt on exchange. When I have changed pipes, I've also re-tuned the bike, especially sports bikes which I like to get dyna tuned.
If you're changing your pipes, let me know and I'll research it.
"Happy rider" is my little signature. Found it on a very obscure website and loved it!

No not changing yet just checking to make sure on things before i commit to anything. Trish wants me to go louder and same here but i might do the job on my stocks yet, still not decided. Would like to hear the difference between the two, standard de baffled and say the v&h cruzzers. Have heard the cruzzers and like them but maybe a little to loud. Thanks for helping and will get me giffs working on the morrow. Cheers Ray

The LEDs consume a lot less power than standard incandescent bulbs. So when you replace indicators there is an excess of power. This can "bleed" across to other circuits and result in side effects such as all four indicators flashing etc. To prevent this, the load equalizer basically just absorbs that excess power by turning it into heat. If you are wiring the LED indicators as auxillary turn sigs (ie not removing the stock ones) then you won't need a load equalizer. If you are removing a set of turn signals, then you will need one.
Keep the rubber side down.
Simon.
EDIT: Just to clarify: The power "bleed" usually happens on bikes that have a single turn signal indicator light. As both indicator circuits feed this light it acts as a bridge between the two circuits. This is why all four indicators can be activated by the indicator switch regardless of switching left or right.

Some fuel injected bikes do have a oxygen sensor located on the exhaust pipes. Honda, on their cruiser lines, has keep the sensor there. It's usually a black wire running from behind the case below the right side cover. This wire has a plug that screws into the pipes. If your bike has one of these, then most aftermarket pipes for your bike will have an oxygen sensor port for the sensor to screw into. Fuel injected cruisers won't need any changes to the fuel delivery if you've only changed the pipes. If you change the air intake as well for a higher flow intake and change your pipes, then you would need to add a fuel management device such as a Power Commander. Cheers Simon.

Hi Simon ; Thanks for clarifying the oxygen sensor issue. haven't seen it mentioned when looking at pipes. Thought they would have to still have something on the aftermarkets to keep the bike fuel ratio's happy. Are you into selling after market pipes at all. Hope all is good with business,tough times for some these days,bloody government. Those guys are taking their time to chuck a bit of white paint on their tyres hey. Lift up the back wheel put the bike in gear and hold the brush steady ,easy i reckon ;D. Look cool when it's done. Cheers Ray

We've been looking at getting some pipes in for the Aero & the DC. We've also been looking at some forward controls as well. If your after something specific just let us know.

Simon, I'm after some crashbars/engine bars or what ever to protec the bike if it drops, but no one will give me an answer on how to fit if you have 6" extension pegs. I'll be after one set for my shadow and one for Pams 400, could you supply or give me directions?
Thanks mate
Steve
