Default LEDs fitted but flash rate wrong

Hi all,
Just fitted front and rear LED turn signals and they are flashing too fast.
I know now that i need a load equaliser but there are 100,s to choose from and the cost is from $20 to $100.

Any ideas on the best/ easiest way to fix this.
PS - the bike has a full HD security alram fitted and i think this matters as to what i need?

PPS - do i need 2x if i have changed front and rear or will 1x fix the whole system ?

Thanks all.

You need a load equalizer. Custom Dynamics, Biketronics, all fine, pick one.

Try 1x first. That should do it.

my cvo came with rear led lights. no problem with the flashing. when I went and added the dynamic ringz up front, then I had issues. got with custom dynamics, and ordered the cvo signal stabilizer (different plug, otherwise same) and that fixed the problem. 3 years later, still no issues.

cd is highly recommended.....

I used the Custom Dynamics load equalizer and it works great. Easy install. Plug and play.

As others have said...you need a load equalizer...Custom Dynamics is a reputable vendor.

My turn signal arrow on the dash flashes really quick but the turn signals on the bike flash normal. That is how my last two bikes have been so I left them alone. They work just fine.
