    Right. Bikes with automatically cancelling turn signals have the weird nonstandard flasher; other bikes can use a regular ol' flasher.

          you likely need the mod to the indicator lamp or lamps in your gauges. Diodes are involved..OR ,as I did, replace the lamp or lamps with TWO tiny 12 volt leds (you can cram both into the same place if you just have a single indicator on your dash) for indicators ...believe it or not, there's enough power flowing to ground through the original incandescent bulbs there to light all your signals.

          This diagram gives some clue for a "single indicator"

            You shouldn't have to add diodes if you have separate bulbs in the instrument panel.

            The only time there is a problem is if you have a single bulb to show the turn signals are ON.

                then the diagram will help....wire colours will be different seeing as the above is a Honda

                You can test all this yourself by pulling the indicator bulb out. Your LED signals should then work fine. This will confirm that it is the problem.

                If you like, rather than chopping up your harness, and adding clumps of unravelling black tape, it might be more elegant to use the original dash bulb socket as a "takeoff point" - A diode will be put in each side of the socket, then "married", and then to one wire of a new socket. The other wire of the new socket will go to any convenenient ground wire (Black/white stripe)
                Or again, my using two tiny 12 volt leds (Ebay) instead of the two diodes plus lamp might be simpler, if you can get your hands on some. Look for them where you are looking for the diodes....
