im trying to use led lights in place of the factory turn signals and they will no longer flash. is there something in need to do to make the factory flasher thing work with these lights or maybe get a differant flasher thing??

This is a common issue when converting standard signals to led's. You'll need to get a couple of resistors and wire them to your turn signal wires. I'm sure if you hit up google, or a motorcycle specific forums (cycleforums, sportbikes.net) you'll be able to find exactly what you need. Good luck and happy wiring.
