Hey Guys
I have a client who is putting a vespa on a balcony display in his pub. He wants to wire it up so that the lights and indicators flash. Any ideas how i can do this. Im guessing the electrics on the bike are goning to be a different voltage. I have no idea about auto electrics. Just thought di see if anyone had done anything like this before i have a look at the job.
Cheers

I'm not happy about helping you with this........

I would take out the original lights and replace them with LEDs - you can get flashing LEDs which would work great for the winkers! My reasons for LEDs are threefold:

1. You can make some very simple circuits that can be run off a normal AC/DC adaptor
2. If it's in a bar then using the original lights or bright 240v lights would be very distracting and maybe a bit over the top. This way you would get a cool effect but it wouldn't be so drastic that it would be annoying.
3. Would cost next to nothing to have it running all day, every day.

I think that Vespas and Lambretta's had 9v electric's , just use 230v/ 9v transformer
