Custom dynamics. If you read a post I wrote few weeks ago. I have a load equalizer and a unit turning my brake lights/ turn signals into break running & turn signals. The unit went bad after 3 yrs, they sent me a new one within a couple of days. Excellent customer service.

Badlands Load Equalizer III, been running it for 3 years no problems and doesn't heat up like others. Couple tips: not all LED bulbs will fit in the light sockets. Some of the bulbs don't have a long enough neck to seat in the socket. I had to try a couple brands before I got it right. Also some load equalizers will throw a trouble code because of the setup. If you do a search you will find this issue with some but it doesn't seem to hurt anything. I also run the Kuryakyn LED tail light inline with the Badlands.

Badlands only one (that I'm aware of) that runs cool and allows you to run the 4 way flashers for as long as you want to.
They also have a option that turns your turn signals into brake/running lights.
If you have not decided on your led's yet check out http://www.ridetimetechnology.com/index.htm

Badlands has company now, the Custom Dynamics signal stabilizer will not overheat and you can run all day with 4-way flashers on with no problem
FWIW, I ordered the complete LED turn signal kit with a Tripleplay (TP) unit and signal stabilizer (SS) from CD just last week and the TP was bad right out of the box so to speak and also affected the SS so I called CD and their customer service is exceptional, we tried a few things to make sure it was the TP and they are sending replacements ASAP

I have the custom dynamics led's on my current 2011 RGUSE and on my previous 07 RG, on both when turn signal is engaged and listening to AM/FM stations on the radio I would receive static in rythem with turn signal, no static on XM. Does any one else have the same problem? if so is there a fix?

Thanks for all the input. From everyone that responded it appears that there's a pretty equal split amoung those that have Biketronics, Custom Dynamics, and Badlands.
I've been reading alot about potential overheating and RF interference that can be heard through the radio when listening to AM/FM stations with some of these load equalizers and I'm wondering how many people have experienced these problems and what brand load equalizer they've had these problems with?
