There is nothing wrong with your relay. Stock bulbs draw 23w front and 23w rear per side. Led's draw aprox 1.5w front and 1.5 w rear and do not draw enough current to activate the flasher unit. You need an electronic flasher that will activate on less than 2w. The flasher unit is usually near the left side cover.

Where do I find a Electronic flasher?

Electronic Fasher!

I would like to know where to get one too! As I have a GS750L also! And am thinking about going w/LED turn signals also & will need another flasher to make them work!
