When changing out parts its best to only change one thing at a time..........then if a problem occurs you know where to look. Flasher units need to see the low resistance of standard bulbs...........LED's have much higher resistance and thus no flashing. Have a look at the wiring diagram for your year bike and use an ohm meter to trace wires. The Manual for your bike has good info on trouble shooting.
