Just installed four led turn signals. They dont work, they just make a constant buzzing sound. I gather that is because the led's dont draw enough amperage so the bike thinks that I just have a blown bulb. So I guess i would need something along the lines of a flasher relay or load equalizer. Anyone know of the cheapest,easiest way. I saw the flasher relay's for about 15 a piece, is there any thing cheaper that would fix my problem? Thanks again///

You can make your own load equalizer with resisters from Radio Shack. This link should help you out.

Just buy the LED flasher from American Sport Bike, that's what I did and my LED signals work perfectly.

also, try turning the bike on and then try the turn signals... they will brush fast, but they will grab more attention.

They will buzzz if the bike is off, but once the bike is running they should work... same thing happened to my bike.

I used an old school flasher like used to be ran in cars on my gsxr. It worked great and way simpler than resisters. I just cut the 2 wires that went into the harness and spliced in the flasher. Sorry I am not being more detailed, but that has been about 4 yrs ago. I just run oem on my Buell.
