LED Indicator Lights With OEM Flasher? (UPDATE)

My Daytona suffers from this. The stock winkers have all been replaced by tiny LEDs, done as an "upgrade" by the P.O.
I did not realize how useless they are until I swapped bikes with a friend.

Worse yet is an old Vincent incandescent stoplight on the original 6 Volts. I followed one of these awhile ago. I knew it was working but still could barely distinguish the on and off of the brake light, even from just a few feet back at a stop.
I run the Kisan TailBlazer on the modern bonne for brake light flashing to help make it more noticeable....but have not found one that will work on positive earth setups for Norton.
 
In my experience, The LEDs boards have all been manufactured in China, while the light body was made or at least assembled in the Uk ( Oberon) and USA (Arlen Ness) and Signal Dynamics)
That doesn't mean that your expensive M-unit isn't much better than a $4 eBay item, it probably is.
Same with Shorai batteries, I think they are made in HK.

Hard to avoid the Chinese stuff even when you try!

I have an older bulbsthatlast4ever 679 board, and they were originally made in Burbank, CA. I dont know where britcycle has them made now, since they took over the line when bulbsthatlast4ever folded in 2016.

They dont say where they are made now on their site - http://www.britcycle.com/products/led/LED.htm
