Hazards coming on when accelerating?

Hi,
Have a used 2006 K9 that I just picked up.

When I left the shop, hopped onto highway gunned it and "front" turn signals only started flashing...

When they stopped flashing (I pushed on left/right turn signals a few times alone, together, etc to make it stop), they now always flash together whether I push the left or the right signal. Both front signals flash. The rears are ok whether I go left, right or I push both together for hazards. :confused:

The headlight was changed (prior to me purchasing it) for one with turn LEDs integrated on the outer perimeter so I am thinking a short? They might have did it sloppy? It was working when I left the shop and then 5 minutes latter, that was it, it flashed alone twice on hard acceleration.

I turned ignition off and on, I tried unplugging positive cable. Still the same. So I am thinking short?

The bike is going back early week in any case for some mods so I will let them know. Oh and first impressions on the K9 coming soon.

You were going too fast hence the flashung lights. :roll:

I would think it's the EHC not liking the additional turn signals in the headlight. Was this a Big Dog dealer?

Dealer, but they don't have much experience with dogs besides selling'em.
Maybe I'll ask to put on a standard headlight... less fiddling, less issues.
