    Thank you for the video. Simple and easy to follow. I did this mod for my 2004 VRSC and it’s good to go. The relays were a pain to figure out a location, due to the limited space on the vrod. I ended up taking the relay cases apart, and encasing the actual , much smaller relay, in rubber cement. Works perfectly. Thanks again!

    was dealing with this BS for days. Resistors didnt work, Badlander equalizer didn't work. THIS WORKED, and worked well. Self cancelling doesn't function but i can live with that. The biggest help of this was you pointing out not to wire them in line with the rear lights, but to follow the harness back before it splits to front/rear. I owe you a beer.

    It's as simple as a relay to slow down the hyper flashing. When folks say that the lights stay on constant, what they don't realize is that the light is actually flashing, its just flashing so fast that you cant even see it. The relay will slow down the blinking. But thank you for your video, I am the type of person that learns from others mistakes, and I have learned a few things from your video, I will take that info and store it in my mind forever as if I learned from failing myself. :) Since 2017 they have came up with even newer relays that allow for you to adjust the speed of the flasher, I love technology! Thanks brother!

    Thanks for this, used this for my 95 XL. recently did a rear running/turn signal conversion with led’s but wouldn’t blink. Wired these directly to my tsm as you stated and all worked well, but in my case I had to put incandescents back up front because when led’s(1157’s) were on, only front right would stay on as a running light. When incandescents were put back in infront both front running lights worked.

    Thank you Scott! Worked like a charm. Finished the setup on my wife's 2000 Sportster. Same tail light as the one in your video, but I replaced the old bullets with new led bullets. Required tapping into the running light wire on the tail light harness to get running lights working on the new bullets. Soldered the wires and everything is working perfect. Fun project.

    Thank you for the video. Very clear and helpful. I did on my 96 sportster with new front LED's. The left blinker works fine without any relay. The right intermittently works. Sometimes solid, sometimes blinks. I'm on my 3rd relay. This one is orange with an adjuster screw. It seemed great, but an hour into a ride, it started to blink quick and varied a bit. I'm scratching my head and about to try a resistor instead of the relay. I couldnt tell if it was a speed related issue or heat maybe. Or lower voltage after riding a while and low engine RPM. I can't isolate why its acting weird. If you have any insight, it would be appreciated.

    The only thing I'd do different is not use solder. If you use a Western Union / Nasa splice and cover with a marine grade shrink wrap. The marine grade stuff is thick and coated with an adhesive the seals the wire. The good thin about not using the solder is the wire remains flexible and relieves stress on the wire. Great tutorial
