Default 1157 running lights

I have a 2020 road glide. Installed front/rear 1157 led's.
dash blinker lights flash faster than build due to the led. Will this hurt anything??
What type of plug and play resistor do I need? TIA

Heh, call Custom Dynamics up and see what they recommend. Easier than asking here, and you'll get a thorough answer.

Turn the turn signals on for 10 minutes. The ecm controls the flashy Hong and will adjust to the new led load. The dealer can also select less in menu with his teck tool.

It is the BCM (Body Control Module) that controls the turn signals, NOT the ECM ( Engine Control Module). The biggest difference between CAN-Bus and non is the BCM acts as the TSM, HFSM, fuse block and a digital circuit control system. Thus the handlebar switch modules are discrete switches and not momentary on or locking type switches.

If all that fails go to the dealer and have the BCM set to LED signals. No signal load balancer needed.
