Description Barkbusters LED-001 amber LED turn signals for handguard plastics

The LED-001 are a pair of amber LED indicators designed to be recessed into Barkbusters handguard plastics. They are turn signals, not position lights: those are the white LED-002, a different code.

Fifteen LEDs per light, low power consumption, and the manufacturer declares them E-mark approved as indicator lights.

Where they can be installed

Plastic Permitted position
JET Upper surface only
VPS Upper surface, lower surface, or both
STORM Upper surface, lower surface, or both

The manufacturer does not list EGO, SABRE, and CARBON plastics.

Two checks before ordering

  • Honda CRF 1000L and CRF 1100L Africa Twin: the manufacturer states that the LED-001 are NOT compatible with these motorcycles' electrical systems.
  • Flashing frequency: if you replace non-LED indicators, the flasher relay may interpret the low power consumption as a burned-out bulb and flash too quickly. In that case, you need the LED-RES-001 resistor, listed in the catalogue and sold separately.

Installation requires drilling

The LED is recessed into the plastic, so a hole must be drilled. The manufacturer provides a drilling template in the instructions to ensure it is positioned correctly. This is a permanent modification to the plastic: it is worth measuring twice.

Each LED has approximately 700 mm of cable.

What you get in the package

  • Two amber LED lights with their wiring.

What is NOT included

  • The handguard plastics, which must already be fitted to the motorcycle or purchased separately.
  • The LED-RES-001 resistor, required only in some cases.

Why buy it from Endurrad

Free shipping in Italy on orders over €100 and in Europe on orders over €250, returns within 14 days, and support in Italian. For road use, check with your workshop that the system complies with current regulations before removing the original indicators.

Why choose it
  • Nel punto più visibile del manubrio. Il paramano è l elemento più esterno e più alto: la freccia si vede da lato meglio che in basso sul telaio.
  • Quindici LED per luce. Il produttore li definisce super luminosi, con basso assorbimento.
  • Approvate con marchio E. Dichiarazione del produttore come luce indicatrice.
  • Si abbinano alle luci bianche. Sulle VPS e sulle STORM si montano bianca sopra e ambra sotto.
  • Dima di foratura fornita. Il foro nella plastica si fa nel punto corretto, non a occhio.
Who is it recommended for

A chi ha già dei paramani Barkbusters con plastiche JET, VPS o STORM e vuole guadagnare visibilità laterale, soprattutto in città e nel traffico.

A chi viaggia molto e vuole frecce più alte e più larghe di quelle di serie.

Non è la scelta giusta per chi ha una Honda CRF 1000L o 1100L Africa Twin, dichiarate non compatibili dal produttore, né per chi non vuole forare le plastiche.

Assembly and documents

Le istruzioni ufficiali INS-LED-001-AM sono allegate a questa scheda e comprendono la dima di foratura.

  1. Verifica che la moto non sia una Honda CRF 1000L o 1100L Africa Twin, dichiarate non compatibili.
  2. Scegli la posizione: sulle JET solo superficie superiore, sulle VPS e STORM sopra, sotto o entrambe.
  3. Smonta le plastiche e applica la dima di foratura fornita. Controlla la posizione due volte: il foro è definitivo.
  4. Fora, inserisci il LED e fissalo.
  5. Porta il cavo, circa 700 mm per lato, fino all impianto della moto seguendo un percorso che non vada in tensione a fondo sterzo.
  6. Collega e prova. Se la frequenza di lampeggio è troppo veloce serve la resistenza LED-RES-001.
  7. Rimonta le plastiche e verifica il funzionamento di tutte le luci prima di partire.

Il collegamento all impianto elettrico e le implicazioni di omologazione vanno gestiti da chi ha competenza: se non hai dimestichezza, affida il lavoro a un officina.

Manufacturer

Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, azienda australiana che progetta e produce paramani per moto dal 1984.

L illuminazione è il ramo più recente della gamma: due luci a LED da incassare nelle plastiche, una ambra come indicatore di direzione e una bianca come luce di posizione, più la resistenza che corregge la frequenza di lampeggio quando serve.

They are turn signals, not position lights

  • Amber is the turn signal. The white position light is the LED-002, a different code.
Extra arrows where they’re really needed

Extra arrows where they’re really needed

The stock turn signals sit low and close to the motorcycle’s body. These are mounted on the handguards, at the outermost and highest point of the handlebar: fifteen LEDs per light, clearly visible to anyone approaching from the side. The manufacturer declares them approved with an E-mark as turn signals.

Where they are mounted, plastic by plastic

Where they are mounted, plastic by plastic

It is not the same for all of them. On the JET models, the manufacturer allows only the top surface; on the VPS and STORM models, you can choose the top, bottom, or both. This is the first check to make, because drilling is permanent.

Amber and white together

Amber and white together

In the official photos, Barkbusters shows the setup on the VPS and STORM: the white LED-002 light on top as the position light, and the amber one below as the turn signal. Two lights per side, two codes to purchase separately.

Two things to check first

Two things to check first

First: for the Honda CRF 1000L and 1100L Africa Twin, the manufacturer declares them incompatible with the electrical system. Second: if you replace bulb turn signals, the LED-RES-001 resistor may be required to bring the flashing frequency back to standard.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

Are they turn signals or position lights?

They are turn signals, that is, direction indicators. The manufacturer declares them approved with an E-mark as indicators. The position lights, on the other hand, are the white LED-002, a different code.

What types of plastic can they be mounted on?

On three series, with one important difference: on JET, only on the upper surface; on VPS and STORM, on the upper surface, the lower surface, or both.

I have a Honda Africa Twin: can I install them?

No, and the manufacturer explicitly states it: the LED-001 bulbs are NOT compatible with the electrical system of the Honda CRF 1000L and CRF 1100L Africa Twin. It is a known limitation and must be respected.

Do I need to drill the plastic parts?

Yes, the LED is recessed into the plastic, so a hole must be drilled. The manufacturer provides a drilling template in the instructions to position it correctly. This is a permanent modification to the plastic: measure twice.

What might the LED-RES-001 resistor be needed for?

Because LEDs consume much less power than bulbs. If you replace non-LED turn signals, the motorcycle's flasher relay may interpret the reduced power consumption as a burned-out bulb and flash too quickly. The LED-RES-001 resistor restores the normal flash rate. It is listed in the catalog and purchased separately.

Can I remove the original turn signals and use only these?

The manufacturer declares them approved with an E-mark as turn signals, but whether to replace the original indicators or use them alongside the originals depends on your vehicle’s type-approval regulations. For road use in Italy, check with your workshop or the vehicle registration office before removing the standard indicators.

Are they approved?

The manufacturer declares approval with an E-mark as an indicator light. The user is responsible for verifying that their motorcycle’s electrical system complies with current regulations.

What is the difference compared with the white LED-002?

The function. The amber LED-001s are turn signals; the white LED-002s are position lights, which remain on and increase front visibility. They are two different and complementary products.

Can I mount them together with the white ones?

Yes, and it is the combination that the manufacturer shows in its official photos on VPS and STORM plastics: the white one on top, as the position light, and the amber one below, as the turn signal. The two lights are purchased separately.

Is the cable long enough to reach the system?

Each LED has approximately 700 mm of cable, or 27.5 inches. On most motorcycles, this is enough to reach the wiring without extensions, but if your cable route is long, it is best to measure it beforehand.

Are the plastic parts included?

No. The package contains the two lights with the wiring. The JET, VPS, or STORM plastics to mount them on must already be on the motorcycle or purchased separately.

Can I mount them on EGO, SABRE, or CARBON plastics?

The manufacturer only declares JET, VPS, and STORM. EGO, SABRE, and CARBON are not on the list: we do not extend compatibility by analogy. If this is your case, write to us and we will verify.
