L.E.D. Conversion

Hi I just got a 1986 honda Nighthawk 450sc and bought a pair of
aftermarket L.E.D. turnsignals to replace my stock ones up front. When I
installed the turnsignals they wouldnt blink, the would light up with
everything but when I switched on the blinker the light would just go dead
and the flasher indicator would blink at about 3 times the speed of the
original. I am guessing this has something to do with resistance since
L.E.D.s use less energy. Should I go ahead and by another pair and
install all 4 at once? Will that fix the problem or is my flash relay to
"big"? Is there some way to install resistors(where could I get them) on
the wire to cut down the energy returning to the flasher relay...I am a
novice at this so I probaly am way off but any info would be awesome.
thanks Jeremy

Buy a new flasher that is electronic. I don't like the resistors because they do get hot, another thing to fail and defeat the purpose to use LED's to begin with; less power.

I agree a new flasher relay would solve your problems without having to use a resistor. Check out these sites:

Custom LED Electronic LED Flasher Relay - “No Load” Plug And Play

Clear Alternatives: FLASHER

Both should be plug and play for your bike. Hope that helps.

I have used this one and purchased it from them as well:
