So the rear blinkers are not set up to be running lights, only the front. So that solves that mystery.
I did not like how the blinkers stems are 5 inches long, so I cut the rear ones down. Pretty straight forward,
but I did run into a problem with the grounding holders. They were extremely mangled and bent. I
was thinking about how I could straighten them, and it came to me last night. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
The steel was the right thickness, all I did was fit it over the steel, use a hammer to pound it back into shape,
and it was good to go.
If the bulbs where replaced with newer, lower wattage bulbs then that could change everything. More info here: http://www.hondatwins.net/forums/31-electrical-issues/13329-led-lighting-upgrade.html
The quick fix (if you care to) is to replace the blinker relay with one that will work with LEDs: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/motorcycle-accessories/lf1-s-pin-universal-motorcycle-electronic-flasher/193/841/ - that's what I bought for my bike when my new low-watt blinkers from DCC weren't working correctly. Fixed the problem right away.
