Default Re: Where should I mount this?

If you are using 6 volt LED tail lights you can also use a solid state electronic 6 volt flasher. They are out there on EBay and other sources as they are used on the older Japanese 6 volt motorcycles. They give a very good rate of dependable flash that is always repeatable.

When using LED lights the old bi-metal flashers don't always get enough current draw to flash the lights properly. The flasher units that say Heavy Duty are the worse ones for LED lights as they were actually designed for use with vehicles pulling trailers that added more extra lights to the flasher circuit calling for even more current draw to make the flasher work correctly. The original 6 volt flasher cans that do not say Heavy Duty on them often work fine with LED lights and also give the original style bulbs the best flashing...
