Default Turn signals not flashing

I have a 2000 fat boy it didn't come with turn signals on from the factory but has everything to install them I bought led turn signals and installed them along with the load equalizers they will light up but won't flash could it be the turn signal module?

That bike did come with turn signals from the factory. Someone removed them. Recheck all of your wiring. It may be because of the LED's. What brand of LED's did you go with? Which equalizer? There is a complete flowchart for trobleshooting turn signals in the SM for my 98 RG, but I don't think it would help you.

You said that it came with "everything" to install turn signals. Where did you get the power, and signal for the front and rear lamps? Are you sure that you tapped into the signal power, and not the running light? Also
