LED Flasher Unit

[Spence]

If I have a LED flasher unit installed on my 2010 GW will the OEM incandescent signal lights still work?

My bike is in the shop having a crankshaft position sensor replaced and while the deck will be all opened up for that I thought it would be smart to have the LED flasher installed. I won't be able to change the bulbs to LED for about a week of two because I want to ride as soon as I get it back this week, I hope!

I'm also having a new air filter put it while it's opened up.
Thanks,
Dave

yes, should not present a problem.

As long as the flasher is designed to handle the incandescent load. Some are, some aren’t, ask the manufacturer.

I remember in the day back in the mid 1900s you had to change the flasher to a Heavy Duty Flasher to handle the turn signals correctly when adding a trailer and its lights to the system. That same HD flasher worked just fine when the trailer was not hooked up. If you did not change flashers then with the extra load the stock flasher would flash too quickly making it hardly noticeable that it even was flashing.
