Hey, all...
I was just assisting another board member with some info regarding the install on his new HID kit.
The question was, specifically, which resistors he needed to install in-line to make his turn signals work properly and in concert with the new kit.
So, I called my local shop to see what they were using (as I didn't install mine myself) and here's the suggestion they made:
Apparently, Lockhart Phillips makes these, so a call to your local dealership or Cycle Gear should get you what you need... Reportedly, they run about $10/ea.
Interesting stuff, at a minimum. A good suggestion for new-installs or retrofits.
Thanks for the q, M...I learned something new today!

What you want to get is "Load-Resistant Turn Signal Relay." You'll need one for each side, and they need to be in the 5-6 ohm range. (The higher the ohm, the slower the flash; the lower the ohm, the faster the flash. Five or Six-Ohm is about normal speed for turn-signals). These are reportedly far superior to the aluminum-finned in-line ohm resistors which have been breaking (a hard wire which protrudes from the resistor itself)because of the vibration.
