wiring non-led turn signals

[jorome12]

i have '72 cb450 . i want to add turn signals after a season without them ..
the new ones have 10w bulbs . the original was much bigger wattage
after wiring them up , when i put the signal on they dont flash .. only stay solid lit
what do i change ? where do i find the part ?

Get an electronic flasher made for LEDs. They work with regular bulbs too. That way you can use LEDs later if you want to.

They are about $10 at most auto parts stores. They have 3 prongs. The third one is for ground so you will need to add a ground wire for that. Should be able to just run it to a nearby bolt.

Something like this:
