only help if you stick around and become a member lol

no they dont, (prolly depending onn maker) mine are both front clear alternatives and they dont require the rate controller

on the back was a different story, i have heard from a friend that it doesnt need anything but i have never personally tried, i have the clear alternatives in the back as well and the two flasher resistors on them

if i get what you're saying, you only need resistors if you dont like how fast they blink

sup uni, yes i will stick around! i've being on a gsxr600, r6 and my brother's cbr600rr, but for some reason nothing feels like my 636 or my buddy's 08 zx6r! my fender eliminator kit blinks at a normal rate and i've never heard nobody needing a flash rate controller for the rear turn signals! i don't know if i'll need it but i'll just buy it to avoid any inconvenience! I'm sure my bike is gonna look sexy with the flushmount front signals, the fender eliminator and the motowerkz gp style exhaust that i just bought!!! i'll put pics next week

i had to swap out the flasher on mine, rear was wigging and the fronts were slow. no changes after adding the euro lights too.

I like the faster flashing Turn Signal's; I think they get more attention from drivers/ cagers. BUT I don't know the legality of faster flashing turn signals.

like sup uni i have the clear alternatives signals too. I didn't have to put a flash controler on my bike either. I'm pretty sure you would only need it if your signals are led type signals. they flash faster since they use less power and flash faster to disapate the extras pwer to them.
