I installed Custom Dynamics led signals front and rear on my 2012 lo. Initially I had the fast blinking signal dash lights but after following the simple re-coding steps suggested by Custom Dynamics, the system re-sync'd and that issue was resolved, hasn't happened again since (4 months). They certainly do add visibility.

Now wait just a minute there Gommee, I thought you were already over the edge.

Would you mind posting either the directions or a link? I have CD LED's in mine and have been living with the fast blink indicators for 5 years now. not over the edge but don't care for it either.

I think with mine I just had to turn the hazards on for 5-10 minutes and it fixed itself.

Yeh, we just got another 2 inches snow today. That brings us up to 116 inches this season and more to come! I don't even look at my bike anymore, it's just too frustrating. At this point I might be able to ride by June if I'm lucky.

As soon as I can park the truck out side without having to scrape the windows in the morning, the bike comes out!
I have a 75,000 BTU furnace in the garage. (the TV, computer and beer fridge don't hurt either)

Not any mods to do, the bike is pretty much done, new floor board and Road Thunder Tunes bar is it. Just a complete end to end service and polish.

New tires this year, 5k miles on rear (2nd rear) and 8.7k miles on front. May get another month of riding out of them. Dunlops SUCK!
