Blink rate

Blink rate
I just installed a hotbodies undertail and am going to also install Gregg's flush mount signals. I read on Greggscustoms.com that if you have just LED lights in the undertail and stock signals or vice-versa, then your flash rate will increas a lot. If you have both LEDs in the rear undertail and LEDs in the signals then the flash rate won't increase much. Is this true? Thanks for your help.

RE: Blink rate
I will be installing my Hotbodies this weekend so I'll have an accurate answer for you. The stock/incandescent bulbs use a lot more amperage from the signals... so it should speed up some when you take them out all together. I'll have the CA tail light and HB flush mounts.... if it blinks too fast, I'm going to run a couple of test to see if I can slow it down, if need be. I have a trick in mind but I want to see if I need to do it and if it works before I post anything about it.

RE: Blink rate
If you run LEDs in both front and rear, it probably wont blink at all. The LEDs do not draw enough current to trip the flasher relay. You have to run a load resistor the control the blink rate. Ran into this with a GSXR we mounted LED turn signals to this summer. My Watsen LED turn signals came with load resistors.

RE: Blink rate
You can get load resistors here. Truckie gave me this link. Don't know if they work yet but I will find out next week.
