I have a 1995 FLHT.

Is there a digital flasher available that will eliminate the need for a load equalizer for led turn signals and still allow the auto cancel to work?

I really hate the idea of creating a heater by just dumping voltage to ground through a big resistor.

I replaced my tail light with an led and it made a huge difference in the voltage drop shown on my volt meter while sitting at a stoplight with my foot on the brake. I would like to change the running lights and turn signals also.

 

I bought one for my FXR, but don't remember where from...maybe J&P...

 

Yes there is! I have a Badlands on my 1990 Evo. It's a small solid state beasty widely available.

 

If it's a round can style, I used a solid state flasher from NAPA on my wife's bike - $10. I've also used a Badlands unit with good results.

 

Thanks, I'll check them both out.

Did the NAPA one work with the automatic turn signal cancellation?

 

That's a good question. I have that stock auto thingy on my bike, although I have disconnected the auto turning off (white/green wire to the speedo). However everything else works with my Badlands connected.

 

I know this is an older thread, but does anybody have a pic of where the digital flasher plugs in?

 

What bike? My bike has the old style metal thermally operated flasher units. I replaced them with a pair of Tridon EP36 3 wire flashers from Advance Autoparts, ~$14 ea. The 3rd wire is a ground. The new flashers are a bit larger but can be squeezed into the mounts, which on my bike are located next to the right fork tube at about the lower triple tree level.

 

So - are load equalizers still required for the LED 1157 "replacement" bulbs?

 

Not if you use the flasher I mentioned or one similar.
