Default Load Equalizers
FYI kuryakyn load equalizers are priced at like a 1/3 of what some of the others out there are charging. Came from recommendation of HD dealer parts guy. It's what they recommend to all their customers going the LED turn signal route. Said cheap and never run into problems with them...

not sure i would hold back a little..
I have only wired in my rears at the moment (as i cant be arsed to pull the tank for the fronts just yet) but i think they may all work without a equalizer as the stock rears are led anyway arnt they..
i say get your turn signals wire em in then worry about the load equalizer later if you need it J.M.O
check new thread for a piccy
