Default Blinker flashing rates

I see such a mix of turn signal flashing rates on so many bikes I was wondering which rate was preferred. I like the stock flashing rate because it looks "professional" and like a cleaner job was done on aftermarket installs, but at the same time, I can also see where a faster flashing rate could attract more attention from daydreamers on the road. Any thoughts? And further, how are your turn signals set up, fast or slow?

I've seen that many bikes, same type, same year, and the flash rates are always different anyway. same with most cars.

Okay, this is a little off the topic, but have you ever been behind someone and had you're signals blinking in perfect unison the whole red light? I had that happen the other day. Pretty stupid little tidbit out of my life, I know.

I prefer stock, cause I don't like the "strobe light", it looks like somethings broken. My Camry has a tail blinker t out, so the front is like 200 BPM, drives me nuts. Now, ever since I installed my Hotbodies undertail my bike does it to, I just doint know how to change it. Has somethin to do witht he relay right?

Not the relay. The LEDs in the Hotbodies turn signals don't have as much resistance as a stock light bulb. Just wire in a resistor in the wires and it will blink like normal again.
