A turn signal load equalizer adjusts the electrical amperage draw from your motorcycle's electrical system to match original factory specifications. When upgrading to custom turn signals with different electrical characteristics (such as LED units), a load equalizer prevents issues like hyper-flashing, flickering, and electrical system strain by maintaining proper circuit resistance.
The Badlands Load Equalizer I is designed for pre-1990 Softail models, Dyna models, FLT/Touring models, and pre-1991 XL Sportster models when converted to custom turn signals. Always verify your specific model year and turn signal configuration before purchasing.
Both units are electrically identical and adjust amperage draw to stock specifications. The key difference is that the Load Equalizer II specifically retains emergency flasher capability, while the Load Equalizer I does not. If your motorcycle requires emergency flasher functionality, choose the Load Equalizer II instead.
Yes, the load equalizer is specifically designed to work with custom turn signals, including LED units. LED turn signals draw less amperage than traditional incandescent bulbs, which can cause hyper-flashing without a load equalizer. This device compensates for that difference and restores normal operation.
Installation is straightforward for users with basic motorcycle electrical knowledge. The load equalizer connects directly to your existing turn signal harness. We recommend consulting your motorcycle's service manual or having a professional technician install it if you're unfamiliar with electrical systems. Proper installation ensures your lighting system functions safely and reliably.
The Badlands Load Equalizer I is specifically designed for custom turn signal conversions. If your motorcycle uses original factory turn signals with the correct amperage specifications, a load equalizer is not necessary. It's only needed when upgrading to aftermarket turn signals with different electrical characteristics.
Yes, the Badlands Load Equalizer I is designed to maintain compliance with your motorcycle's electrical system specifications. By ensuring proper amperage draw, it helps your turn signals function according to original factory standards. However, verify that your custom turn signals themselves meet local traffic regulations, as the load equalizer only ensures proper electrical operation.
