Be that as it may, I still got the rapid flash from my turn signal indicators. Their customer service was indeed great---they worked with me forever in tying to normalize the indicator flashing. But in the end, they said, "You should probably buy the load equalizer."

That is the one thing I see is the turn indicator on the dash flashes rapidly with the LED signals even though they say the 2021 model does not need the equalizer. The signals themselves still flash at the normal speed.

Another vote for HD. I put them on my 2018 Sport Glide and am satisfied. They are plug and play, nothing else to buy.
Here is a comparison photo.

There is a fix for this I forget exactly what to do maybe someone else can chime in. But it does not involve adding a load equalizer, it's relearning the signals on the bike or something. I think it's something like running the hazards for 1 or 2 minutes and it should sync everything back up. I had to do this on my 14 low rider.

Trust me on this; together with the Custom Dynamics rep, we tried every know fix to get rid of the rapid indicator flashing. Nothing worked.
In fairness, if the rapid indicator flashing doesn't bother you, you could just leave it alone.

On my 14 Limited, I had to turn on the 4 ways and leave them on for 5 minutes until everything synched up.

I ordered some Custom Dynamics turn signals. Genisis 1157. Simply because my local speed shop recommended them. I haven't put them in yet. But it sounds like it was good advice, judging by all the recommendations on here. I will report back.

Hate to hear that, it worked on my low rider thankfully, but then again it never really bothered me. I had noticed it and later on came across someone mention doing that procedure so I figured what the heck and it did work for me. As long as the lights themselves were functioning properly I was happy
