The diode method worked great for me but I still need a resistor to create a load for the flasher relay. I tried to get a replacement relay but I couldn't find one for my 05 CBR 600RR. I read in another forum that it's in the instrument cluster but I haven't found a definitive answer on that one. So my question is what size resistor do I need?

what size diodos did you use

Used (2/side) 1N5400 diodes on my bike this weekend and it works great!! I did not put any resistors on the front yet. I have an integrated rear tail light by Clear Solutions that came with resistors (5ohm x 20W) "BIG" that I put on, but didn't know which ones to use on the front?? Radio Shack did not have the same size as I used on the rear and I would like to use something smaller in size if possible... Any help for the fronts will be great!!

You actually only need one diode per side. The parking light wire is back feeding into the blinker system causing the indicator lights and on mine the rear blinkers to stay on. If you put a diode on just the blinker wire and then connect the three (blinker lead, running lead, positive LED lead) lead wires at on point. This allows the running lights to get to the light but, it can't go back up into the blinker system.

Nvm my question has been answered.

I still need to know what sizes resistors I need to use please I havent been able to figure it out thanks in advance for the help.

Awesome diagram!  Works great, thanks!

hotbodies flush mounts also look great on the rear of the bike will have a pic of my bike up soon

Protons look every bit as good as this brand and come with the wiring for running and turns.

I just finished this fix and it was way easier than I expected...A pack of $1.39 diodes and some shrink tubing and even an idiot like me could do it.  Thanks to all who posted on this and especially jjbtao for the great diagram...

thirsty24 -> RE: Hotbodies Flush Mount FIX! (7/7/2007 8:38:36 PM)

hey, so i started this up today and everything went perfectly (thanks to the super simple drawn diagram on page 2) for the left side. on the right i set everything up the same way, but i can't get a blink. it comes on as a running light, but simply goes out when i turn on the signal. i checked all my wiring (i think the green wire is the blinker, right?) and everything seemed nice and tight.

any ideas on what i did wrong for that side? also i'm having some trouble getting the front back on...are there any secrets to getting it to fit up right?

thanks all

thirsty24 -> RE: Hotbodies Flush Mount FIX! (7/8/2007 3:27:48 PM)

nevermind, i finally got it all fixed up. thanks anyways.

oodayvidoo -> RE: Hotbodies Flush Mount FIX! (7/25/2007 9:42:50 PM)

hey thirsty! how did you end up fixing your problem? and also what resistors did you get and how do you connect them?

BlindinOrange -> RE: Hotbodies Flush Mount FIX! (8/7/2007 6:42:28 PM)

works like a dream with the diodes...... working on a plug and play box so both headlights stay on with low beam (high beam at about 40%) then both work 100% when on high.... will let you know how it all comes together. there will be no cutting factory wires.

dexterious69 -> RE: Hotbodies Flush Mount FIX! (5/10/2008 3:31:45 PM)

Yes I would like to know hoe to wire the hot bodies fonrt blinkers to stay on. I also have an intergrated tail light. Tried wiring the front blinkers and the tail light would stay yellow, and front blinkers would not flash.
