Well a LED indicator relay drives LED indicators, not filament bulbs, which I assume you still have? These draw many more watts than LEDs so you've likely fried the relay and blown the main fuse. I guess put back the old relay and replace the fuse...
What strength is the main fuse?
If it's a 500 they only have one fuse running the whole thing, blow that and nothing works. If it was a 550 they have 3 fuses so blowing one fuse at least means something still works so I suspect it's a 500 and it's blown the fuse.

I don't understand that so many are drawn to replacement by LEDS. If I read all these posts almost nobody seems to get it right the first time. Then a little more on bulbs and LEDs. As far as safety, in particular attention value, I favour ordinary bulbs over leds. It may sound strange but LED brake- and indicatorlights do not draw as much attention as bulbs do. The reason is that ordinary bulbs glow on and off, where Leds are either on or off. In other words: with glowbulbs there is more chance you'll see something is changing. Do not forget that our brain is programmed to detect changes. Now we all blink our eyes from time to time. In such a blink a led can be switched on, where with conventional bulbs after you've blinked you can still see the lamp coming on. Some time ago I almost ran into a bus in front of me. I had missed glowing brakelights in my eyesight and the clean Leds had not alarmed me at all. And this was not the first time... Led lights could be a good thing for taillights and daylight running lights but I don't want them in my blinkers and certainly not as a brakelight. If other drivers are like me, I must fear I would run a higher risk being rearended.
As you know Tom, I'm no expert but we put a LED relay on one of our bikes to cure a problem, as suggested by Hairygit (there is a post on here somewhere) and the standard filament bulbs were left in situ. It cured the problem and has been working fine since.rubescube, the fuses are usually found in the fuse box What bike is it?
