Badlands Turn Signal Flasher
Badlands Turn Signal Flasher Modules: The Original American-Made Solution
When it comes to turn signal flasher technology for Harley-Davidson and American V-Twin motorcycles, few names carry as much weight as Badlands Motorcycle Products. Started in 1990, Badlands Motorcycle Products is proud to offer the very best lighting control modules in the motorcycle industry — all American-made. That three-decade legacy of domestic manufacturing and patented technology is precisely why riders, independent shops, and Harley dealerships worldwide continue to reach for Badlands modules first.
Why Turn Signal Flasher Modules Matter
A stock turn signal flasher does one job: blink. Badlands turn signal flasher modules are engineered to do much more. Badlands invented modules like the all-in-one Run, Brake & Turn with Load Equalizer, stand-alone Load Equalizers, Self-Canceling & Sequential Flashing Modules, all while boasting a lifetime warranty. This means that upgrading to a Badlands module doesn't just replace a flasher — it fundamentally expands what your rear lighting system can do, improving both safety and style without complex wiring work.
Key Badlands Turn Signal Flasher Product Lines
Badlands offers several distinct turn signal flasher solutions to match different rider needs and model years:
- Illuminator™ Run/Brake/Turn Module (ILL-01 Series): The Illuminator Plug-In Style Run, Brake & Turn Signal Module is a premium, no-splice lighting upgrade engineered to convert your motorcycle's rear turn signals into dual-intensity running, brake, and turn lights, significantly enhancing rear visibility and overall safety while maintaining a clean, factory-style installation.
- Automatic Turn Signal Canceler (ATS-03 Series): This plug-in module automatically flashes for nine seconds but can be manually canceled at any time, and includes a built-in emergency flasher mode and a load equalizer that runs LEDs of up to 100 watts per side.
- Speed-Sensing Self-Canceling Module (ATS-04 Series): This advanced module uses a speed-sensing self-cancel algorithm — keeping the turn signal flashing while stopped (for example at a traffic light) and beginning the cancel countdown once the motorcycle exceeds roughly 7 mph. If speed drops below 7 mph while signals are still flashing, the module keeps flashing until the bike exceeds that threshold again, providing more OEM-like cancellation behavior than a simple timer.
- Sequential Flashing Modules (ILL-SS / ILL-SD Series): All Badlands Sequential™ Flashing Modules are designed to provide static or dynamic rear flashing turn signals, and also feature an integrated Load Equalizer to prevent rapid-flashing turn signals while providing running light and brake light functions onto your rear turn signals, allowing them to operate as all three functions.
Built-In Load Equalizer: The Badlands Difference
One of the most common headaches when switching to LED turn signals is hyper-flashing — the rapid blinking caused by the reduced electrical load of LEDs fooling the OEM flasher relay. Badlands modules include a built-in load equalizer, allowing LEDs, halogen, or small incandescent bulbs to be used without rapid flashing, and include a 4-way flasher/hazard mode — without requiring a speedometer or speed sensor to function.
American-Made with a Lifetime Warranty
Both the ATS-03 and ATS-04 boast the industry's very first lifetime warranty and are the only modules made in America — a distinction Badlands has held since 1990. In 2013, Badlands was acquired by NAMZ Custom Cycle Products, who were able to package their custom wiring harnesses with Badlands modules to make adding custom lighting to your bike even easier. Whether you ride a classic Sportster, a Big Twin Touring model, or a modern CAN-Bus-equipped Harley, there is a Badlands turn signal flasher module engineered to fit your exact application with a true plug-and-play installation.
