do you have any idea of what load equalizer on j&p you would you recommend for a '13?? also I cannot seem to see anywhere in the info about joker astro's about being 1157 compatible. do you know if they are ??1156 and 1157 refer to the style of plugin for the bulb (like the stock HD turn signal bulbs.)
1156 is single intensity (1 filament with one brightness)
1157 is dual intensity (2 filaments with two different brightness)
What you need to confirm for the rear is that the light is dual intensity.
For the front, Single intensity LED setups will flash normal but the flash brightness is the same as the running brightness. A dual intensity LED (or any light) will flash brighter than the run lights.
To answer your question though; the JM front fork mounted LED are single intensity. They do not change brightness when flashing. It doesn't matter though. They are fairly bright anyway and very visible. I love mine.
On the back, I use the Radiantz 1157 compatible LED array that plugs into the normal bulb socket.

Here's a load EQ for you. This was recommended by the chief electrician at HD engineering. I haven't installed it yet. It should go in the front circuit.

Here's the story regarding the '13 model and CanBUS system.
You can install LED's at all four locations and they will flash normally. They will also function as running lights just as the OEM lights.
You do want 1157 compatible lights for the rear. This will ensure your brake lights are brighter than the running lights (the signal flash will be brighter too.)
For the front, as someone else posted, LED lights will operate at different voltage inputs. As a result, some of the aftermarket products won't list 1157 compatibility, but they will work; they just might not display a brighter light on flash compared to just running operation.
Regardless, everything will flash at the normal speed.
The only bug in the process is the flash of the green LED's in your dash. These lights will flash normal for two flashes, then flash rapidly. This is the system's way to tell you that a bulb is out. It does this because the LED's don't provide enough resistance for he system to recognize normal operation.
To fix the dash-flash, you will need a load equalizer in the front signal circuit.

Love it! Is the wire attached to the flex led bar visible? I was thinking to do the same a while ago.
