With the CD LED's, the dash may flash faster than the actual light. It did on my Dyna, softail and now on my Road Glide. I never bothered with it.

My Heritage did it and so does my Pops Road King.

The "hyper-flash", when the turn signal indicator flashes rapidly, is a signal to show that a turn signal bulb is out... the LEDs draw less amperage than the OEM incandescent bulbs.... Low draw LEDs fool the bike into thinking that a bulb is out...

If you have a pre can-bus bike, you will need to put a load equalizer in the turn signal circuit, to stop the hyper-flash... or just live with it

On the newer can-bus bikes, the BCM can "learn" the proper turn signal draw... a minute or two with the 4-way flashers on will recalibrate the BCM and will stop the hyper-flash.

Custom Dynamics lists this procedure for can-bus bikes:

"Turn Signal Sync Procedure

Turn Ignition on, but do not start the bike.
Turn on 4 way hazards by pressing the hazard button on the controls.
Turn the Ignition off letting hazards run. IF the bike has security they will flash 5 or 6 times and then pause. This is normal. They will go back to flashing normal hazard mode.
Let hazards run 1-2 minutes.
Turn Ignition back on.
Turn off hazards.
Turn Ignition off and then back on.
Check function of both turn signals."

That's the same procedure Custom Dynamics gave me after I purchased their white/orange plug and play turn signal inserts.......following their instructions worked like a charm..........excellent!
