the flasher has to be changed to an LED flasher, for plug and play.

There is the flasher [ thanks to Bagger John].

Any auto store now has  1157 LED replacement lights.

I would also be interested to know what 1157 LED you guys would recommend for the tail light.  I read on rattlebars faq page in shop talk that they are not that good.  It's at the very bottom of his write up, with this link:
http://www.rattlebars.com/valkfaq/ledbrake.jpg
Although, if you guys know of a good one to use that doesn't suck and has good running/braking brightness change that'd be sweet. Some I've read are bright, but when you apply the brake they are still bright, so it's hard to tell when you are actually braking...
There are so many to choose from on Amazon, I don't want to waste time and money with the wrong choice.
Thanks.

get the highest watt ones, big poppa pump give listing for 50watt true signal bulbs, they work great even in direct sunlight. remember to get same color led as your lense.

I installed [ after being rear ended] an LED panel light [ I think from Radianz]  with puck lights in the saddle bags for tail and stop lights. The turns were from an auto parts store and all seems to work fine. They are bright.

A diode must be added to one line of the turn signal indicator to convert to LED turn signals. One more thing to put in the headlight bucket where there is just so much room to work on the standard and tourer. The interstate, if it has a single indicator to tell you either turn signal is working, it will also need a diode. Someone mentioned a unit that will solve the issue some time back, I think a Kassin(sp) Signal Minder, but I have not tried one yet.
