Re-read the question tough guy.
OP asked if he NEEDED a load equalizer and the answer is no but you said yes.

The ONLY thing it does is makes the dash light blink faster than normal after 4-5 flashes. The lights don't blink fast, just the dash. Big deal!
Custom Dynamics gave me a "can-bus-adapter" (about $5) that's just a little resistor on a wire lead that taps in between the power circuit and ground.
My dash flashed faster at first trial, but they told me to cycle my four-ways for about a minute to "re-sync" everything, and they haven't done it since.
They now all flash at the same rate.

Harley has LED bullet turn signal kits in the catalog that do not require a resistor to blink properly.

P/N 67800060 & 67800061

Catalog says for '12 and later Dyna and '11 later Softails, I don't know what the difference is in earlier models.

I'm currently running LED replacement bulbs in my stock ('10) bullet housings (front and rear)
I had to install a resistor to get them to blink at the right speed.
