Electrical LED Question

I have an '07 R6 and installed a Clear Alternatives integrated tail light about a month ago. The blinkers did the fast flash thing so I wired in the included resistors and they went back to the stock flashing speed. Yesterday I installed a set of LED flushies to replace the stock front blinkers. The blinkers went to the fast flash again so I went to cycle gear and bought this load equalizer. I replaced the stock box with the new one and I am back to the stock flash speed again.

My question is, since I replaced the stock flashing module, can I remove the resistors for the rear tail light or does this only affect the front blinkers. The only reason I ask is because the resistors heat up when the blinkers are on and I'd like to remove them if I can. It is kind of a good thing because I never forget to turn of my blinkers, because I think about them heating up when they are on, but I really don't want to worry about them anymore.

This is what I installed (under the tank in front of the battery)

Re: Electrical LED Question

Yes you should take out the resistors. The left blinkers and right blinkers are wired together like a car. When one blows out they blink fast. That is why when you installed the leds the blinked fast.
