Tune Trapper
I just put a Tune Trapper antenna in my 2012 Ultra. It works ok except I get intermittent turn signal noise when I use them. Not very time though. The static noise coming out of the speakers will launch you out of the saddle! Tune Trapper has no idea what it causing this... Anyone got a solution?

It's been awhile since installation, but I thought everything was Custom Dynamics- light flasher etc. I do have Kuryakyn headlight and passing lamps. Why, is it something with the Bandlands load equalizer that I could switch to another?

I've seen posts that some Badlands load equalizers cause FM interference. I'm running the Truck Lite phase seven lights, which are the Kuryakyn, and have no problems.
You mentioning that the noise only occurs when using the turn signals made me think of the load equalizer. If your load equalizer uses battery power, whatever the brand, that might be the cause. Inline plug-in models don't generate any frequencies.

I called Custom Dynamics to ask if they had any ideas regarding RFI with their lights. They recommended I try moving the ground wire of the equalizer to the ground stud on the frame- instead of negative battery terminal.
It worked great, no RFI.... in the garage. We were having a monsoon here, so I elected to wait on a test ride until things dry up tomorrow.
