I changed turnsignals to LED, front and rear on my StreetBob 2013 (European version).
The original rear signals were already LEDs (3-in-1), just replaced.
The original front signals were bulbs, and I had to go 'fishing' for the connectors under the gas tank.
Everything is ok, the signals flash at the correct rate AND the indicators on the dashboard too.

Cool. Like I siad, Im going to pick up the equalizer anyway. Its a plug and play deal so if I dont need it, great. But if I do its a couple minute fix. Btw, I love your bike man. Looks great.

Well now Im getting even more weird info. Suposedly my HD R/S/T module has a built in load equalizer. So Im just going to quit trying to figure it out and just install the signals and see what happens. lol
I think it's the right decision though. The worst that can happen is the dash indicator flashes rapidly.

I'll definitly post up the results. One thing Ive been wondering. I think I remember the stock signals having 3 wires. And the LED lights only have 2. Is that right? And if so do I just terminate one of the wires? And which one isnt used?

If you replace a 3 wire incandescent bulb with a 2 wire LED bulb. You will need the device that changes the output intensity to match the function of the 3 wire bulb. You wire the 3 wires from your bike into this device. Then 2 wire from the device to the LED lamp. Sorry, not sure what the device is called.
