Hi folks, I need some advice; I have just changed my frontturn signal (Fatboy Lo 2013) to a set of LEDs form Alloy Art and they justlook great. All gone well on the installation, but the turn signal control lighton the tank console has started to blink faster than the actual turn signals.Both front and rear signal blink at the same speed, just the control light goesa tad too fast. Im just looking for perfection, any suggestion how to get thisright?
Change the rear also and it'll work fine. It's getting mixed signals because the fronts are pulling less juice then the rears so it thinks that a bulb is burnt out
Did you guys use their signal stabilizer? On a 2013 lights for CAN-BUS systems must be used is what I understand as they are quite sensitive to non-stock electricals. I just put a set of Custom Dynamics along with their stabilizer on my '04 and have no problems.
Custom Dynamics told me to cycle the 4-ways on for a minute or two to resync the console indicator.
Worked for me, now they all blink at the property rate.
Thanks guys, it looks like the solution with the Custom Dynamics signal sabilizer should do the trick. Why the heck to local Harley guys don't come up with that solution is beyond me.
I have front and rear led from custom dynamics without a stabilizer on my 2013 fatboy lo and everything works fine. The new canbus system does NOT require the signal stabilizer don't waste your money.

the "Can-Bus Adapter" was recommended by CD themselves, and without out my bike throws codes.
The load of the LEDs is so low the bike thinks a lamp is burned out.
Besides, it was less than $5.

Interesting that everything works good in my bike without anything added. I see in their site that some softails need that adapter and the fatboy doesn't. But it also says that the dash light will flash fast and mine doesn't.
Here's from their website.
"(2011 - 2013 Softails & 2012-2013 Dyna with Canbus do not require a Load Equalizer, Turn Signals will flash at proper rate, however indicator light on dash will flash faster than normal when both front and rear turns signals are converted to LEDs)
2011-2013 Softail Blacklline and 2012-2013 Softail Slim, and 2013 Breakout will require Part Can-Adapter when converting rear turn signals to LEDs."
The only thing I can think of is maybe because I have the front dynamic ringz which doubles as white driving lights when signal is not in use so it draws more power?
