I went back to a new thermal flasher from Bratton’s. It blinked irregularly, but it at least worked (for a few weeks). Then, it died.
Some folks recommend a NOS 535 thermal flasher, which I currently have installed (from eBay). It kinda works. The blink is still sometimes irregular, and the indicator lamp seldom works on my Signal Stat turn signal switch. I use my cowl lights as turn signals. Adding an electrical “load” with 10 CP bulbs (instead of stock 3 CP bulbs) in the cowl lights helped stabilize the 535 flasher, but the flasher still does not work quite right. However, the blink is safe enough to drive.

Shew01, I am using a thermo flasher with LED rear lights (turn,tail and brake) and also a third brake light with signals, rear lights have load resistors. Front turn signals are also LED running/driving lights. The in line resistors, Snyders A-13464 solved the flashing problem for me. Have also considered turning my parking lights to turn signals. (Two-lite headlights)
Being in the country and driving dark roads on the return ride from tours I want to be very visible.
