I'm switching to LEDs all the way around, and was told to switch to a low powered flasher unit for the LEDs.

My 1974 has a four pronged flasher. Does anyone have a source for a low power four pronged unit? Or, alternatively, how can I make a three pronged unit work?

Thanks for any help!!

Mike

You can always put a resistor in if you need it to simulate the load on the flasher. I did my dual sport that way.

ditto that, you have some abliltity to change flasher speed aslo with a selction of resistors. more current flow means faster flash
