That is a standard flasher. Can work with LEDs if resistors are added in parallel with each light. If using LEDs better off to get LED rated flasher.
Thank you for confirming this!! I will get a new flasher and switch and get back to you all. My apologies for all the back and forth guys! I WILL PREVAIL!That is a standard flasher.

Chris, maybe it would be easier to just wire my own in at this point. If all else fails I will do that for sure. But I am learning much about my bike so that route is last resort.

We've nearly gone full circle - way back, told you my bike'e electrical system had been butchered and eventually I came to the conclusion wiring the bike myself was the easiest and best way. Have ended up with wiring which is reliable and I know how it all works.
I put my new flasher relay in and the lights come on but they just stay on and don't flash. I've tried everything before coming back here to bother you guys with a solution.
Not sure where to go from here.
I will try putting some LEDs in the front too since I bought some and see if that changes anything. I opened up the switch and it seems to be working fine when I test itI’m gunna say it’s either the switch or the mismatched LED lights in the back and regular lights in the front. Maybe ditch the light bar.

Actually the one I got is electrical and supports LED and incandescent bulbs. That way I wouldn't run into a problem.
What's weird is that with the standard relay I had right back/front flashers work just fine but when I switch to my left ones the front one is really dim and the back one doesnt light up.
With the new relay, as I mentioned before, all flashers fully light and work but dont blink they just stay on.
So I dont believe it's a faulty wiring problem, I think I'm just missing something. How strange.

Okay so that rules out the relay then. I'll completely disconnect my left hand signal and go from there. And check the switch wiring to themRicky, you gotta think logical with electrics.
Clearly, you are missing something. If the r/h flashers were working and flashing as they should then you can forget the flasher unit and mismatch of LEDs and incandescent as the problem. The problem is the flasher switch in the l/h position or the wiring between the switch and the l/h flashers.
Wish I was there with you to look. But you need to follow through with your multimeter, trace the wiring, even if you need to open up the bundles of wires, and see where is getting power/where is not getting power.
Do the number of prongs matter on the flasher unit? My new one has four actually, but only two of them power the lights. I didnt think it mattered. I could get another one with two prongs later today if it does
I'll try the LED swap and let you know first

He did not get a harness from me . i explained that my harness does not support any of the stock relays and he also wanted a battery box with switches and new handlebar switches because he doesn't have both. I told him i am waiting on new switches to come in this week and thats how we left it. From the pictures the PO really did a number on wires and color coded wires were not always used. Its important that when you make or fix a harness you just don't use one color wire for everything. Hope he gets it figured out.
