Default '04 Load equalizer??

Just got some new front signals for my '04 sporty and the manufacturer recommends the use of a load equalizer.

Any suggestions for a cheap but decent one? I've been looking at one from biketronics for $80 (http://www.biketronics.com/products/...Equalizer.html)

What are you guys using?

These guys have been around a while. About the same price, but it's an alternative:

I also use the
Badlands lighting module
I'LL-04-RL-C with
Radiantz LED clusters
LED-DR56-Red for the rear. Solid state does not get hot.
No problems at all.

Custom Dynamics:

http://www.customdynamics.com/loadequalizer.htm -----> forth one down from the top of the page.

It plugs directly inbetween your existing light circuit connectors under the seat of your '04 Sportster, with no need to cut/solder any wires. It does however require 12v[+] and [-] connections directly to your battery.
