I have had the LED integrated tail light for a while with stock front turn signals, and my signals have always blinked fast, never bothered me. I just put on shock racing front LED signals and now the front and back signals just come on and stay on and there is a buzzing noise coming from behind the wind screen. I have a '04 XB12S. Would the LED flasher relay from american sport bike fix this? I'm sure I have them wired correctly, only two wires. It sucks that american sport bike has a minimum order of $20. Now I have to spend more money than I wanted to buy something else.

One the other hand................

If you are an official cheapskate, (Like me:-), you can just wire a 10 ohm, 10 watt wirewound resistor accross both the right and left blinker circuit, and you are good to go.

Available for a coupla bucks at Radio Shack.

I wired mine up under the rear seat like this:

Mine did that too because one of the wires came unplugged. I think it does that when the circuit is broken. It is either a disconnected wire, or you may have two of them reversed.

You don't need the relay or the resister if you don't mind the fast blinking. Just check your wiring.

I have it wired correct and everything lights up fine, it's just none of them flash. When I unplug the LED signals in the front and plug in the stock ones they flash fast. Does this mean that when both front and rear signals are LED there is not enough of a current draw to make them flash and that the LED flasher relay from american sport bike would fix this?

I have the shock leds all the way around and it works fine. Just fast. I checked mine, brown goes to blue and black goes to green. If that's the way yours is, then maybe the integrated rear brings the ohms down to low and you will need the resistors or led relay. Hope that helps.

I fixed this same problem by replacing the
stock flasher can with a BUSS BP-232 can
from o'relley auto parts for $8. It only
has 2pins but works fine. Slows it down
to normal rates.
