Hey motorman, sorry to hear about the annoying turn signal situation.
For future reference, I highly recommend investing on one of the m-Gadget m-Flash digital relays. It is load protected, handles all types of blinkers - bulbs and LEDs and is easy as piss to install. Plus, its tiny! I have it installed on two of my bikes now. Not super cheap, but by the time you add up your installation time and wasted flashers/blinkers, its worth it I rekon.
