L.E.D Indicator Help Needed

Hi Guys,
Further to my email last night about fitting front L.E.D indicators, I have now fitted them, but there is a problem. The indicators now flash far too fast, I am still using original rear indicators. Anyone know how to solve this? I know that you can get special flasher relays for L.E.D Indicators, but firstly I do not know if these allow a mix of ordinary rear indicators and L.E.D fronts? also the wiring diagram in the handbook does not show the flasher relay? I am guessing there has to be somewhere. Any help on this gratefully received.
Regards,
Duncan.

I guess I should have asked this in your other post too....
The stock front signals are already LED. What exactly did you mod? Removed the handguard?

I'm no electrical expert but maybe you should check the compatibility of those retrofitted LED in terms of resistance or voltage or watt coz there are different rated LED's. I could be wrong.

It sounds like similar issue I had with my alarm installation. Did you ground the LED using the stock wiring or ground it seperately? It should be grounded to stock wiring as the grounding is electronically controlled.

Thanks

Thanks HyperRetard,
I fitted the L.E.D indicators as I want to dispense with the original hanguards fro some stronger Acerbis ones. I have earthed the led indicators through the original wiring. Indicators are definately the correct voltage but I guess as I have a flash rate problem the resistance/ wattage is different, problem is no one seems to state wattage for led indicators and I do not know what the standard ones fitted to the bike are rated at anyway. Does anyone know where the standard indicator relay/flasher unit is located on the bike?
I may need to try to change this unless anyone knows of some led indicators I can fit that do not give this flash rate problem.
Regards,
Duncan.
