Default Load Equalizers - What do you use?

I am curious what brand of load equalizer do you use with your LED turn signals? Badlands Illuminator looks good but is not water tight and the wire bundle in not protected. Biketronics has a good looking unit but it does not have run/brake/turn.

Also, where did you place the module? Not much room on my bike under the seat. Perhaps behind the the splash guard?

Got my LED strips and load equalizer from Custom Dynamics. Had them about 2 years now, no issues at all so far. Put the EQ under the seat.

I went with Kurakyn's Rear Run-Turn Brake Controller and I'm very happy with the product. They come with full simple instructions. The module requires less space than you may think, and it does fit right under the seat. The Run-Turn Brake Controller is cool because your rear signals become brake lights as well. It also has an option for 3-pulse brake light flashing. When you hit the brakes, the flash 3 times before the brake light stays on. But if you just want a simple load equalizer, they have them as well.

Check out their page: http://www.kuryakyn.com/Harley/Light...oad-Equalizers

Here's a link to a half-a$$ youtube video showing you how it works: http://youtu.be/wNC4Q2uvaMs

Run/Brake/Turn from Custom Dynamics, I put the load equalizer is on top of the battery.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with Badlands r/t/b module, LED tail and turn signals.

Tail/running lights and brake lights don't need 'equalizing'. The only issue with LEDs is with the turn signal flasher. Some 8 ohm resistors from radio shack for a buck apiece (one for each turn signal) work perfectly for LED turn signals.
