Default LED flasher load equalizer

So I bought a set of these for my shadow
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191173602556...84.m1497.l2649

They're friggin awesome! Had to replace the flasher relay so they wouldnt hyper flash.

I want to put a set on my sportster, but looking for a load equalizer has got me confused, being that the bike has the auto cancelling signals. Im seeing these "Badlands" equalizers for like $75!!!!

Is there a cheaper alternative than the resistors that get hot? Anyone put LED signals on their bike and found an equalizer that works?

What year is your bike?
I read somewhere that the newer bikes don't need an equalizer for LED turn signals, but I may be wrong. As LED's have become more common, it would make sense for the TSM to support them without the need for a separate eq.

Ah silly me, shoulda mentioned that .

2006 1200 Low

From what I've read it's only the 14 bikes that dont need the equalizer, but I could be wrong.
