Turn signal mod throwing codes.
I have a 2007 Street Bob that I have done away with the external turn signals. The rears are incorporated into tail light and the front are incorporated into Primo Rivera 5 3/4 headlight. Both lights bypass the running light option so I capped the wires and left them unconnected. I did the rear first and waited to do the front. Prior to doing the front my bike was throwing a code indicating issue with the turn signals. Now I have functioning turn signals I am still getting the codes, in addition I now have the fast signals. Any suggestions on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.

A load equalizer may take care of the fast blinks. Is it blinking really fast on your dash or your rear signals? Probably just your dash, so you could just leave it alone...codes won't hurt any thing.
More importantly do you think you can take a night pic rider view of your new primo light? You have the new primo light right? Seems like a lot of people wana see how bright the light is along with the pattern. I wana buy one but wana see a night pic first. Maybe you can help me out.
On my 2012 and 2008 fxdb I had the integrated tail light and signals. I had fast blinks on dash but not the actual signal marker.

Your running LED's now, correct? More than likely getting the code because the LED's aren't sending back enough resistance to the computer telling it they are burn out. There are a few ways to fix this, you could use a module (pretty pricey, upwords of a $100 or more) that tricks the system (I don't remember who makes them and I am sure someone will mention it soon) or you could get a (you'll need 4, one for each light) a product sold by Custom Dynamics called a TrueFlex Converter ($5 each) which also tricks the system into thinking the light is good, they will have to be spliced into the system. I used the TrueFlex and when I spliced them in, I just build a bridge connector that let me unplug the light connector and put it in the middle, no cutting wires involved) and they are very reliable along with great customer service from Custum Dynamics.

Yes they are all LEDs. Would adding a resistor inline help as well? I Knew the fast blink could be fixed that way don't know why I wasn't thinking that was the reason for it throwing codes. Though is was something to do with open wire for running lights.
I'll take some shots of the headlight and post them sometime this weekend. So far I am happy with it. Much better than stock and cheaper than HD options. Plus as much as some people don't like the integrated turn signals I felt is was the best way to get rid of them and still maintain some degree of safety.

pics
So here are pics from light. I was in HD dealer parking lot with light at my back so not completely dark. The first pic is with low beams and second low beams with light it throws in close to the bike.

Pics continued
The third picture is with the high beams on and you can see it throws the beams pretty farm, there is about a 40 yards between field and parking lot of the building being lit up. The last pic is front view with low beams on. Can't really comment on if it can be taken apart. I suppose anything can be if you want to bad enough, just not to sure of the integrity when it is put back together. Name on light is small and hardly noticeable.
