>hey guys i am looking for some hep!  my 12v notch does not have front turn signals, and as such, the rears flash really, really fast.  can i put a 6v flasher unit on to slow it down?  thanks!



Hi Brian,

Resistance is NECESSARY!

You will need to add the precise resistance of another bulb to each circuit, so either put an adjustable resistor into the circuit or just put another wired bulb (in parallel, not series) hidden into the rear fenders and they should work properly.

The 6v flasher relay will not work.  It will fry under 12V.
