I've just finished fitting an Evotech tail tidy and the Yamaha LED indicators to my MT-07, I just need to finally position the load resistors to the rear of the bike to complete the job. The only place they seem to fit is in the plastic channel to the side of the storage compartment which also carries the loom to the rear/stop lamp. Now I've not got a problem with this except... I was under the impression the resistors should be mounted to the metal of the frame for heat dissipation.
Having run the hazards for a couple of minutes with the resistors just in the plastic channel I only noticed a marginal increase in heat, they were only slightly warm to the touch. So it seems that normal use of the indicators (probably only on for 10-15 seconds at a time) should not cause a problem.
The question to any of you guys who have fitted LED indiators with the load resistors is where have you put the resistors? Was it in the plastic channel like I did or some other location?
