Default Turn signal swap - incandescent - 2001 sportster

I'm in the process of swapping out my turn signals for a set of bullet lights. Replacing incandescent with incandescent. I have the front installed and when I try them they just stay on, they're not flashing. Do I need to install the rears before they'll work?

Once I finish wiring if it still doesn't work what's the best way to troubleshoot this?

Fuse? Relay/circuit? Bulbs?

Thanks for any help

You need both a front and rear bulb connected to the circuit in order for the turn signals to flash.
