A couple years ago, I converted my Standard to all LED and now I want to do he same with my I/S (minus the trunk). When I did the conversion, I used an electronic flasher and I also had to solder a diode in the headlight harness assembly to prevent bleed though from the indicator light. I searched, but I can't find any info on whether the I/S will need the same thing? Since the I/S uses 2 indicators instead of one, do I even need to use a diode?

No, the diode is required only for a single turn indicator.

Just curious, why did you need a diode? Not sure what you meant when you said bleed from the indicator?

With a single indicator on the tree, the power bleeds across the indicator lamp to the opposite side and causes all lamps to flash.  You actually need 3 diodes to correct the issue as well as running one side of the indicator lamp to ground.  Kuryakyn makes a kit for doing this.  The Valk shouldn't need it

You don't need 3 diodes, you only need 2, 1 goes to the orange and the other to the blue wire. The 2 diode kits cost less than 5 bucks at superbrightleds.

my bad you are correct.  It was converting the turn signals to running lights/turnsignals that required 3 diodes
