I upgraded my LED turn signal and it's flashing super fast, can anyone tell me the proper relay model? Thank you so much

This ^. An LED compatible flasher relay will sort it. I put one in my car and one on my bike when I switched the turn signal bulbs to LEDs. LED bulbs don't draw enough current to make the factory flasher work properly. Some people do like the "hyper-flash".

If the flasher you get has a mounting tab on top like the one in Obo's link you'll what to trim that off so it fits in the rubber holder under the left side panel. It's in the back row on the far right IIRC. Plug n Play easy peasy.
 
I didn't cut the mounting tab off mine and it fit in the space without issue. I think I moved the rubber "elastic" over and mounted it like these photos.
If I get around to it I'll open it up and snap a photo of mine. If I didn't mount like this then I tucked it in the small space. It won't go anywhere.

I'd like to add that when you pull the OEM flasher it has three (3) pins (pa model), ignore it and just plug in the new one like OBO, it will work.

Does anyone know what the third pin is for?

If I was to guess I'd say the 3rd pin on a PA is a power feed running to the PA hand gear so you could have 4 ways on when the bike is off? That would require a flasher with more than 2 pins though, or a jumper wire.... I also don't know how the PA uses the 2nd battery (separate, isolated or in parallel.)

I tried to follow it on the schematic once, maybe the glasses weren't working that day, tried again. I think it goes to the option plug (quartet). My wired turn signals flash with out the 3rd wire on the flasher. shrugs shoulders emoji
