RE: Flasher relay
ORIGINAL: Incognito
Go with the $20 relay from e-Bay. That will slow down the flash rate and is plug & play (super easy). I just did it on my bike. Don’t mess with resistors.
A diode will keep the light off your dash bymaintaining electricity flowing in one directionwhen you combine both positive wires.
Here’s a link for that light mod. If you fry your ECU in the process, you can blame redzintimidator. Lol
EDIT:
Sorry I should explain. A resistor causes resistance, thus it fools the stock flasher relay into believing there’s an incandescent bulb there, rather than a LED, so you get the slow flash rate. A diode is basically a one way valve for electricity. A flasher relay controlsALL the turn signals. Thus if you want to regulate the flash rate on your bike, it would make more sense to install one relay vs. four resistors.

RE: Flasher relay
Here's one that ends in ~5 days.
If that one isn't good anymore, just go to Ebay and search for "F4i relay". They're usually around $15.
