Rizoma Indicator 'Black Box'

[junior varsity]

wow, that sounds a LOT better.

i can't understand why they can't just put the resistor/parts inside each signal.

Discovered the connector's on the Zero 11's and the 696 are also not the same.  Any idea where the best place is to get the snap type connector's needed to plug into the wires on the bike?  I could cut the wires on the bike to match the lights but would rather not.  You would think Rizoma would make it an option on which type of connector you want.

whatsup, you may want to look further down the wires on the bike.  You might find the right connectors.  When I first picked up my 1100, the right blinker would sometimes not work.  It was a lose connection and the same plugs as on the new blinkers.  I would imagine the 696 would be the same.  Maybe double check before buying something.

Just got 4 Avio 21's for Xmas.  There is no longer a black box.  The "black box" is now about the size of the new resistor pictured but flatter.  Almost like a pressure switch to run a weaponlight if that makes any sense.  Maybe the thickness of 3 quarters and the width of a dime? 

Yep, thats what I got, well at least on one of them - much better than the big black box setup.

Who did you get yours through?.  I bought mine off Revercorsa, but probably wouldn't use them again, as despite numerous emails and a couple of phonecalls to find out what the story was with the new Blackbox setup, I havn't recieved a reply

PJ's.....

PJ's.

Pj's.   Excellent service.  My father ordered them for me for XMAS.  My wife told my dad, who lives out of town, that I open presents early (not true) and I always figure out what my gifts are.  The PJ's box showed up with a label over the company name (to disguise it) as well as a big sticker that said "do not open until XMAS".  Inside the box was also a christmas card that was written for my dad.

I thought I'd resurrect this thread as I found it useful. But firstly a bit of background.

I have had the old Rizoma Track 01 indicators on my bike for almost three years ... these little puppies have 24 LEDs in each indicator and are as bright as the fires of hell. I had bought the resistor kit but was told you didn't 'have to' install them ... if you didn't you would just have a faster blink rate. I like the faster blink rate and the resistors had no connectors so I left the indicators as they were. These indicators had no separate load box.

The Boss had some Avio 21s installed on her wee Monster about 18 months ago ... these have been wired in with the HUGE load box and resistors on EACH indicator.

Anyway back to the current day ... we recently returned from a little trip covering just over 5000km through all sorts of weather. It would seem that the old Track 01s didn't do too well and have started playing up or not working at all. We went through some pretty heavy rain (3 days in a row at one point) and some water seems to have got into the indiactors ... amazingly through a pair of o-rings. The Avios seem to have coped much better.

So I have just received a set of new Track 77s as replacements. Although it has been discussed above I thought I would add a little more with some photos ... this is what comes in each pack:



So the load box / black box has definitely shrunk as mentioned above and there are plenty of resistors. The little slip that comes with it may also be helpful:



So once the missus gets her act togther to do the install for me I think it will be as per the diagram above for the Hyper:

. black box on each indicator (already connected in the top photo)
. no resistors on the front
. resistors on each rear indicator

Hope that helps to clarify things.

my god that black box is tiny in comparison to what I'm having to use.
