Which is hot? wire with stripe?
I mounted my new signals (one wire) and wired them to the wire with the stripe. When I touch the black to the mounting bolt, the tail light dims and the fuse blows.

My 2004 book has the following:
right front: green w/white
left front: green w/red
right rear: green w/white
left rear: green w/red

If you added LEDs you'll need to use a flasher unit that incorporates a load equalizer. If my memory is correct our bikes use a european 24v lamp so if you added 12v lamps that might account for a drop in resistance and a faster flash rate. I also remember reading that our stock lamps are stock items at Walmart (of all places) so maybe just replacing the lamps in your new signal housings will be the easiest answer.

I wanna say Brent sells a flasher for use with LED signals that might do the trick for ya. PS Pretty sure both left and right signal ground wires are the same color, so the "one of these things is not like the other" rule probably applies for the hot. Could be wrong tho
