Doc, I had a similar problem using the same led bulbs with my V-Rod.  If you have a load equalizer on your rear setup then you shouldn't need another one on the front.  On my V-Rod it ended up being a wiring problem.  H/D crossed the wiring in one of the connectors leading to the turn signals.  I cant remember which of the wires they crossed, it was too long ago, but I traced each wire - ground, running, & turn from each turn signal back to the connector, found the error & fixed it, and the turn signals functioned properly.  You wouldn't notice it with the stock dual element bulbs because of the resistance of the element.  I would look there first but you will need the schematics which are in the service manual and/or the electrical diagnostics manual.

Exactly the type of news I wanted...Thanks!

Doc, do you think we could get some photos of the spreaders as installed on your ride?  For some reason, I haven't been able to find a comfortable spot on my floorboards for my feet since reading your posts about these things! [smiley=laugh.gif]

Oddly enough, I took photos of the before and after while I did it, but must have forgotten to post them.  Sorry.  I will try tonight, but Game 7 is on.  Soon, I will do it tho.  OR...just imagine your floorboards out 3/4 of an inch.  They actually blend well with the edge of the lowers with the spreaders on.  Sorry about the delay.  Slipped my mind.

Sorry it took so long, and the bike is obviously dirty, but there are the photos.  After quite some time and miles using the extenders, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for the info do they come in chrome??

[Doc]

Well...no.  Not this kit.  But I think Tom Dean makes a Diamond D kit that has chrome brackets.  You may want to do a search on that.  He's a local guy here, but he sells through the major catalogs...Kuryakyn, J&P, etc.

Doc, here I go and harass you about not posting pics and then when you finally do, I don't say "thanks." [smiley=oops.gif]

Thanks for the info on the chrome ones,  talking  to a buddy about these he said go to the local bolt supplier in the area and buy four chrome spacer that they have and get longer bolts may try that.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

[Doc]

Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top and let the new guys witht eh new rides check it out if they hadn't found it tucked back a page...

[mr_magoo]
