Default Front right turn signal not working

New member, Have read forum for a few months to help with my newly purchased road king in june 2012. Now I have particular issue with right front turn signal I could use some help with.

2005 Road King Classic. Right front turn signal not working, front signals operate as running lights, back signals do not operate as running lights, when turning all 4 flashers on- all signals work fine.... when turn right signal on by itself - the back right flashes too quickly and the front right doesn't signal at all.

Any suggestions?

Take the Left front turn signal bulb out and put it in the right turn signal. Now see if that works.
These bulbs have (2) filaments, one is for the running lights and the other is for the turn signal. The (4) way flasher may be using the running filament and not the turn signal filament.

Pull the bulb out of the housing and inspect for poor contact or corrosion.
Clean the little tip of the contact with sandpaper as required.
Switch bulbs from other positions to check operation.
Check flasher unit.
