Default Custom Dynamics LED Turn Signals

I have a 2013 model 72, I'm interested in some LED turn signals but the advice is that I'd also need a load equalizer. Some folks said that isn't true, they just flash a little faster . Does anybody know for sure ?

Thanks

Get the equalizer...led's draw less power so you need one for them to function properly.

I'm wanting same thing for my 2012 72, but only wanting to do the rears. Was told that I didn't need the equalizer due to only doing the rears. True, false?

if you do all 4 flashers you will need the load eq ----
if you do just the front or rear you wont need to buy it ...

they will flash alot faster if you do all 4 and dont install the load eq
its not a big deal if you can put up with them flash like that
but for me it was just annoying as hell to see them flash that way . so i got the load eq.

Have you looked into their run/brake/turn modules? I was worried about rear visibility as well, I did not go LED on the turn signals, but having all 3 lights on all the time and flashing (several choices of patterns you can program) makes a big difference. A snap to install, just one little box under the seat.

I ordered my lights on Saturday and received them on Wednesday. I have a 14' Iron 883 so I did NOT need the load equalizer. Install was a breeze and the lights look amazing on the bike and man are they bright. Now I have to save some $$$ to buy the LED HD headlight.

Two things I did notice was that the LED clusters when putting on the bullet cap lenses on the clusters would move and getting the lenses to click took a bit longer than expected. Second the turn signal indicator does flash rapidly but the lights themselves flash normal. I can deal with the quick flashing on the indicator.

If you’re thinking of getting them stop thinking and just get them very good investment in being seen at night.

I have a '14 48 and I installed both the front and rear and love them! I didn't buy the load equalizer and they flash just fine.
