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.
