Default LED turn signal and FE question

I read on here that relays or resistors are used to slow the blink rate down when you install LED turnsignals. I am getting ready to install an integrated taillight w/turnsignals FE and flushmounts up front on my 07 CBR600RR, and was just wondering if the relay solution will cure the whole fast blink rate thing all the way around? Also, to make sure there is just ONE relay per bike that covers BOTH front AND back turn signals right? Will I need to buy the marker light connectors from Lockhart Phillips to make the connections easier?

Most importantly am I covering all my bases here, or are there other issues besides than the blink rate I havent mentioned, or wireing technicalities I might have overlooked.

I just hate to get started thinking I will be riding in a bit only to get stuck because I dont have or overlooked something.

Thanks, and AWESOME website BTW!!!!!

now, i may have heard incorrectly as it was through various people, but if i'm right you wont need anything extra for your 2007 as it already has an IC Controlled Relay which is based off time, not amperage draw like the 2003-2006 cbr600rr.

if someone can confirm this, that would make my life a little less stressful!

I just installed the flush mount "hotbodies" LED turn signals and found that the flash rate is considerably faster with them. I have yet to instal a new FE with Leds so I'm not sure if that would make a difference. Possibly having a complete LED kit frontto rear might slow them down. I will let you know when I get the FE installed.
