Default Blinker wiring help

I am in the process of putting on my apes and decided to eliminate my front blinkers...Since I had the tank off I thought I would clean things up a little and took all the wiring out from the connectors that went to the front blinkers (this seems to have been a mistake)...My Manuals for my bike (1994 Fatboy) are on the way but Im not one to wait for snail mail. It seems as though the front and rear blinkers share resistance or wiring so now my rear blinkers are constant when turned on. I am trying to find a solution to this problem, jumper or otherwise, so I can start putting the bike back together....Need some help!!

yrs ago at work, I was working with a Electrician, I was a Machine Repairman. He ran into problems with the wiring on a machine, then he hollowed out "CALL me a Electricain". I said Chit, U are one.

(NO) he said, "I MEAN, A REAL ONE".

Me thinks that is what U need....
