Turn signals won't flash
I installed some new turn signals on my bike las night. It was getting kinda late, but I thought I could git r done in about an hour or so. I soldered and heat shrinked all the joints and removed the factory signals from the rear fender strut. Buttoned it all back up and the lights will come on but not flash. I suspect it is a difference in the electrical load that the replacement turn signals verses the factory ones. The new ones use a 194 peanut bulb and I believe the factory used a 1156? Any way to get these things flashing? Any help would be appreciated. TIA

I had a similar problem. Relay went bad. they are about 135.00 if that is the problem.

try unplugging the new ones(not removing them) and plugging back your old ones, see if they work. If they do its not your relay...
might try a load equalizer... they 30bucks or so... are you sure all your new connections are soldered well?
my Kuryakyn LED mini bullets(strut mounted) didn't have any problems and that's quite a bit of electrical draw than the stock ones
and I didn't need a load equalizer either.
