I bought 4 of these leds turn signals

And i have also bought a .2 amp LED specific flasher and Ive tried all kinds of led electronic flashers and it doesn't flash.

I since bought 4 of these load resistors

The low power draw was nice but mainly i wanted the led lights for brightness and sleekness and size i wired them in and the load resistors and it flashes quickly but not a normal flash i tried the lights before the load resistors and i still flashed fast. So i am at the point i don't know what to do but see if a mechanic will pass the fast flash.

I want to know what flashers and turn signals you use Im having the hardest time getting these to flash.

If you give a reply a link to the flasher and turn signals would be appreciated.
 
LF1-S- flat or LF1-S-pin same flasher just different leads. $8.95 at www.superbrightleds.com
On the flasher the flat comes with the leads in a plug, remove the wires from the plug, this leaves the flat connectors on the wires. Some come with a red and black wire, some grey and black. On the plug on the bike where the stock flasher plug in, plug the red or grey wire in where the brown wire is, the black into where the brown/white wire is.
This flasher will flash from one LED bulb up to 150 watts of any kind of lights. At 90 flashes per minute.
Keep it away from the coils, especially a high out put coil. Move it as far away as you can. The magnetic feild of the coil can make it flash funny.
Don't need to use resisters. The resisters are a bad idea. They counter most of the why of useing LED's.

I used a Motogadget M-Flash. Yes, it costs a bit more than the others, but needs no resistors, is solid-state, crazy TINY, no-brainer wiring, and has been rock-solid reliable for me.

So in other words the points ignition coils? Since the stock flasher placement is in between the ignition coils.
 
I have only used it since I got the Pamco with the green monster coils, very high output, 75KV+ where the stock points coils are 10KV. So the stock points coils may not effect it as much. I can only say try it where the stock flasher was, if it works ok then leave it there, If it acts funny move it.
