u need an LED turn signal relay (assuming your new signals are LED?)...about $12 from your local auto parts store. I can't remember the number on it right off though. take your old one to the store with you and tell them you want to replace it with an LED relay.

what do you mean by relay.
sorry this is my first bike.
the new signals are led but i am replacing the back only
will a led relay let me keep the stock signals on the front

Double check the polarity first as leds will not work if plugged in backwards. If polarity is good then go with the relay as mentioned above. Relays are under the seat. Yours should be easy to find because it will be the one vibrating because of the buzzing. Just unplug it (you'll know it the right one if the buzzing stops) and take it to the auto parts store. If the new relay doesn't fix it then you may have to put led in front also.

the EP-36 flash relay from Kragen/O'reileys/pep boys did the trick for me...no more buzzing.

okay guys i think i figured it out.
my front left signal was burned out.
replaced with a new bulb and that stopped the buzzing.
since it was only buzzing on the one side i guess that was an indicator of the bad bulb
thanks for all the help [up]
