#496121 Midnight Mark (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 51 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   I think that you have to add a load equalizer. When I installed the led turn signals on my bike it required the equalizer. Something to do with the lower current draw of the led's.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #496122 HEAVY METAL (User) MAY YOU RIDE WITH THE STARS Gold Boarder Posts: 968 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   I have heard that if you go from standard bulbs to LED'S you have to get some sort of a voltage equalizer to put in line before the new LED bulb's or you can get feed back into the electric system and damage the charging system? You might be getting feed back? That might be why you blew the head light and are blowing fuse's? I don't have LED'S on my bike but have done some research on the subject? But can't say really one way or the other if this is true???   Logged     HEAVY METAL WARRENTON,MISSOURI   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496126 Mudslide (User) Benton, AR Gold Boarder Posts: 672 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   Yep. Our bikes take the load of atleat two bulbs to activate the flasher. If you remove one or both bulbs you will have to install a load equalizer to add the load back in the circuit. They get really hot too.   Logged     Franksandbeans   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496127 Mudslide (User) Benton, AR Gold Boarder Posts: 672 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   Some have said the self cancelling turn signal stops working when they installed a load equalizer. Mine works fine.   Logged     Franksandbeans   The administrator has disabled public write access. #496223 bencadenbach (User) Is aggravated like a T-Rex with a hard on Expert Boarder Posts: 414 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   Don't really know much about the electrical stuff. Whats a load equalizer and where could a guy find one. And how is it installed. I think I really did name the thread appropriately.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496235 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1440 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   Mudslide wrote: Some have said the self cancelling turn signal stops working when they installed a load equalizer.

Most do, I'm not sure about which models, but if you want to test it, leave yours on from a stop, as you start and move past neutral it should turn off....or is it 2000 rpms????   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496245 armybronco (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 175 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   My '07 Roadie has the self cancelling turn signals...they turn off after a couple hundred feet or fifteen seconds...whichever is shorter.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496252 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2091 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   I have seen the load equalizers at auto parts store near the bulbs,it is a inline resistor that simulates the load of the bulb that you removed,leds dont draw enough amps to trigger the flasher for the turn signals,you will need 2 of them   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496521 bencadenbach (User) Is aggravated like a T-Rex with a hard on Expert Boarder Posts: 414 Re:So much for simple 12 Months ago   cool thanks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
