Traditional incandescent bulbs draw more electrical current than LED lights. Without a load equalizer, your motorcycle's electrical system doesn't recognize the lower power draw of LEDs, causing the turn signals to flash too rapidly. The load equalizer mimics the electrical load of incandescent bulbs, ensuring your LEDs flash at the correct rate.
This load equalizer works with most 12V motorcycle applications, however it is not required for CAN-bus equipped Harley-Davidson models. Modern H-D bikes with CAN-bus systems have built-in load equalization, so you won't need this product. Check your owner's manual to determine if your bike has CAN-bus technology.
No. You must remove the load equalizer before operating your motorcycle's 4-way flashers (hazard lights). Operating 4-way flashers with the load equalizer installed can damage the electrical system. Always disconnect it before using emergency flashers.
Load equalizers generate heat during operation, which is normal. This Kuryakyn model features an extruded aluminum housing with black anodize finish specifically designed for efficient heat dissipation. To minimize heat buildup, avoid using your turn signals continuously for extended periods. The aluminum construction helps cool the unit faster than standard alternatives.
Yes, in most cases. This 100-watt load equalizer is powerful enough to handle all four turn signals on the majority of motorcycles. However, compatibility depends on your specific bike's electrical system and the wattage of your LED bulbs. If you have any doubts, consult your motorcycle's electrical specifications before installation.
The Kuryakyn load equalizer comes with heat shrink butt connectors included in the package. These connectors make installation easier and help create secure electrical connections. Heat shrink butt connectors provide protection against moisture and corrosion, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
Yes, this is a universal 12V load equalizer designed to work with most custom motorcycles, cafe racers, and classic bikes. As long as your motorcycle has a 12V electrical system, this product should be compatible. It's a plug-and-play electrical component with no modifications needed to your bike's frame or wiring (beyond connecting the included connectors).

The Kuryakyn Aluminum Load Equalizer is an essential component when upgrading your motorcycle's turn signals from traditional incandescent bulbs to modern LED lights. This 100-watt, 6-ohm load equalizer corrects the flash rate of your LED turn signals, ensuring they blink at the proper frequency just like factory incandescent bulbs would.
Without a load equalizer, LED turn signals often flash too quickly, creating a safety and visibility issue.
Built with precision-engineered extruded aluminum and finished with black anodizing, this load equalizer features superior heat dissipation properties. The robust construction handles the demands of daily riding while maintaining optimal performance. This universal solution works with most 12V motorcycle applications and allows you to replace all four turn signals with LEDs in the majority of cases, giving your bike a modern aesthetic while maintaining proper electrical function.
The package includes heat shrink butt connectors for easy installation. Please note that load equalizers generate heat during operation, so avoid extended continuous use of turn signals. Additionally, never operate 4-way flashers with load equalizers installed—remove them first for safety. Not required for CAN-bus equipped Harley-Davidson models.
