Default Hyperflash on Dash - LED Install

I recently removed all turn signals and went with Rolland Sands Designs and I am running into a minor issue. I cut the wires at the hand controls, heat tubed, and rolled back into the controllers. For the new signals I installed them on the forks me have them going into the auxiliary plug ( Harley makes for turn signal relocation / lighted mirrors, etc).

All works perfect for flashing except in the dash I have a hyper flashing signal only for left and right, not 4 way.

For those of you with experience in can systems, should I be wiring my signals into 'can low' and 'can high' that run up to the hand grips? I am wondering if it can't tell the lights aren't there.

Thoughts anybody?

I just had this. External turn signals flash normally and the flasher on the dash hyperflashed.

Go to the dealer and get a load balancer. It took me about 3 minutes to install, take seat off, disconnect flasher plug, plug this in, put seat back on, right signal, left signal, right signal, done.

No more hyperflash

Does your bike have a can bus system?

If you have the can bus system, you should be able to run your bike with the hazard lights on for 5 minutes to reset / resync the can bus system with your new lights voltage readings. This removed the hyper flashing on my SGS.
