    Flashers not flashing

    I had to change out my Windjammer V fairing and rear turn signals and now they won't flash. I was reading up on the Turn Signal Load Equalizers but really can't tell if that is my problem or what. I assume it had something to do with the different ampere ratings of the OEM's and the new smaller incandescent bulbs, and I am sure it wasn't just coincidental that when I took those two things off the signal generator went bad. I was looking at the "Kuryakyn Load Equalizer for Electronic Flasher Units" on DennisKirk.com and was wondering if anyone else had this problem or recommended what to do.

    Did your bike have a PO who messed with the wiring?

            Done

            Yeah, it was that Load Equalizer I was talking about. I didn't use LED's but I did use smaller incandescent bulbs that didn't draw as much. I used the Krukayan(or whatever) 4 Ohm equalizer. It's mounted right underneath the seat. it works great now. Thanks for all the replies.
