Looks like I found a vendor with all the goods I need for the blinkers. I already changed the tail and brake light out about a month ago.

The OEM flasher unit, is a mechanical on/off switch, sorta like a mini-relay...
That's something worth looking into.

I love the looks and brightness of the LED's but they're so darn pricey...Yeah, but so are the load equalizers. I think that new electronic flasher is cheaper.

Besides, guys I've talked to with the load equalizers say they burn out...

forget what the reason is, but you need the equalizer. think its grounding ??or they both flash without the equalizer.

I have been thinking about converting over to LED bulbs on the bike. I found a kit in J&P that includes a 'SmartEqualizer'.  I am wondering if this equalizer is needed because of the blinker needs more current than just the LED bulbs pull or what???
