hey I just put on an inagrated tale light and it came with resisters which I hooked up between the positive leads and my lights still blink fast. I'm still running the stocks in front and the other thing was the tale light only has one wire coming out for the positive. what should I do with the negitive stock blinker wires, I've tryed touching them to a ground and that didn't help. and of course the light came with no directions. Help please this is anoying!

Screw the resistors, use this:

Must not be an American Sport Bike tail light since it didn't have directions : ) .

The A.S.B. tail light turn signal LEDs on the CCA get their ground from the same ground that feeds the tail light (brake/light). You don't need to hook up the turn signal ground wires to anything, ground is ground, the turn signal LEDs are grounded already if they are lighting.

The flashing fast is due to the bulb-out notification design of the stock flasher. It's a primitive automotive flasher. The flasher above is designed for the lower currents that LED TS's have.

Als flasher works like a charm.

I solved the same problem you are having last night on my new taillight/turnsignals. You can actually use a TWO pin flasher (even though the stock is a 3 pin) made for low amperage applications it should plug right into the stock wiring. I found mine at O'Riley's Auto Parts but i'm sure they're available at most parts stores. I'm not for sure of the exact model but i know it said that it was for applications of 1 to 15 or 20 bulbs. It was only eight bucks and a quick fix. Good luck.

The flasher is a BUSS BP/232 2 pin heavy duty
for 1 to 10 bulbs. It works great on my
Clear Alternatives integral tail/indicators
with Shock LED's up front. Just $8.39
