So rather than lighting the bulb, the voltage from the low then feeds thru the base to the ground side of the high filament and back to the indicators, on a simple wiring harness. Since the flasher is out of the circuit, nothing happens but the indicators now have low voltage because it's back feeding thru 2 filaments which are acting as resistors, so the indicator lamps are dim.
Great explanation Sir
Saw this myself many many times.
Abused oil field trucks and trailers were the worst.
It was even simpler than we could've ever imagined. The running light filament (didn't know this bike had running lights since the other side was out too) crossed the turn signal filament and caused the lights to stay on as if they were running lights.

Thank you for following up. So many do not post their findings at the end.
