hey guys i recently added led bulbs as turning signals and took off the stock signals. the bulbs stay solid and i am running a 560 ohm resistor, should i go with a larger resistor or smaller?

You will need to change the flasher unit to get LED lights to blink.
Some LED flasher units are bike specific, others may require cutting.
See if this works for you.

Search; It has been discussed and I've provided links to what you need to get. You can buy it from eBay for about $20. The only thing you need to watch is the two terminal locations.

I'm running resistors, but only because I have to (you may as well). I upgraded to the timed relay, but the switch on the bars is of such a shotty quality that with just the LED signals, the opposite side (for instance, if you turn on the left signal, the rights light up too) will light up. I installed one resistor (5 ohm, 25 watt) per side, and it works perfectly.

When I swapped my rear signals for LED I had to add resistors. Check what the resistance is on the new lights and subtract it from the stock light total then add in the required amount of resistance,( i bought mine at the source by circuit city)
