LED's on Venture

[Guest Sponge Bob]

Hey Guys/Gals:

 

Thought I would post this so if any one else has this problem I might help.

 

Purchased from Custom Dynamics LED boards to replace both the front and rear turn signals on an 05 RSV. Also purchased a 4 amp load equalizer from them as well (turned out to be a Kuryakyn 4807 load equalizer). Changed out the bulbs on the left side placed the load equalizer on the rear harness, turned on the key to "ON" and the blink rate was fast, went to the local shop and got a 2 amp and wired it in to the front harness. Still no change in the blink rate. Wrote to Kuryakyn for help. Since the fairing was split and the seat off I decided to move the bike to the side of my garage. Started the bike up and for the "hell of it" hit the directional signal switch, damn if they didn't blink at the normal rate. Go figure!!!!!!! So if any of you have replaced your lights with LED's and fine the blink rate fast added a load equalizer and it is still fast, kick the bike over, they may slow down. Figured I would give you this piece of advice so others will not have go through the same thing as I did.

 

BTW 116 & 1157 have a 2amp draw, so a 2amp load equalizer on both harnesses should do the trick.

Good to know. Thanks for reporting the DOH!.

Did you do much damage to the bike when you kicked it over and did you need help picking it back up?
