Where to get a turn signal relay for LED signals?

Does anyone know is there a direct replacement turn signal relay for a 3rd gen that could be used with LED signals and where to get one? Or is soldering a different connector to the wiring harness and using a universal electric turn signal relay the only choise?

I don't want to use the resistors connected in parallel with the signals as the resistors are big and get hot. I'm converting both front and rear signals to LED ones.

EDIT:
I found a relay from Squaredeals UK in Ebay.co.uk that plugs in to the existing connector and works with both original bulbs and leds. Link: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item5d25e583e8
Excellent service and great seller on this one. I installed the relay yesterday and works great even though I've only installed leds signal mirrors to the front and still have the original bulbs in the back!

A Acumen relay that appears to be similar to the one above (I haven't tried this one): http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item5631eaedf8

I also found a "Bike it" brand relay with a connector that appears to be correct (I haven't tried this one) with half the price but it works with only leds: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item3a4ba5426e

KPerham converted his bikes to LED, and I think he used some kind of new relay. Try PM'ing him.

You may not got a direct plug in...as the after market ones are three pin (use a headlight holder) - you will need to slice a little

I bought one from superbrightleds.com that was plug & play for my '05 VTR. What style plug does your 3rd gen have?

Added the relay I used and two others I found to the first post. They're on UK Ebay but shipping worldwide.

I ordered the electrical relay from eBay (www.virtualvillage.co.uk). It was 3 pole relay as the original but did not fit to existing connector. It had though same symbols, so I just replaced the original connectors to get it work.
