If you didn't get that harness its expensive ($50 ea and ya need two)

You could just run turns and forget the driving lights, but if you remove the stock ones you lose lighting...
Bet that harness is doing the same thing I mentioned with the resistor or some simlar setup. It's dropping voltage to the light for the running light then allowing the full power for the turn signal to go through to the light.

I'm sure if you ask some guys that know electronics they could tell you how to set something up like this for a LOT less than the $100 Harley is wanting to charge...of course it won't be as "tidey" I'm sure.

Looks like the harness can be purchased for $30.

I have the harness on mine and just went down to the garage to remove the bulbs from the stock signals to see what happens...

Well, the sigs flash fast but after turning them on/off a couple times they settles into the regular speed... Looks like I'll be unplugging them from the harness and relocating them to the garbage!

OP, if you want the running lights the harness makes it very easy, just plug and go!
