Load equalizer?

The TSM/TSSM measures the draw from the turn signals. With incandescent bulbs, a lower draw causes the TSM/TSSM to hyper flash the turn signal light in the dash. It is a warning that you have a turn signal bulb out. With LEDs in the turn signals, the TSM/TSSM may think you always have a bulb out and hyperflash without a load equalizer.
I have read where if you only put two LED bulbs in the circuit, they may not cause hyper flash, but if you go to all four, you will need a load equalizer.
I have always gone to 4 LED turn signals in my pre-canbus bikes and so always went with a load equalizer.
I have never needed a load equalizer when adding LEDs to headlight/spot lamp or rear tail lights on my pre-canbus bikes. But in those cases I have never just swapped out bulbs, I have used head light/spot lamp/tail light assemblies from Custom Dynamics, or BAL-1 (for the rear light). They may have circuitry in their assemblies to allow for proper operation.
Just my experience, don't know if any of this info helps or not...
