Default Signal Dynamics brake light kit

I received my Signal Dynamics tail light kit the other day and in reading the installation instructions I saw a warning. Thewarning states that Victory Motorcycles and some Kawasaki's will still not work even with the Dual Load Equalizer.
Does anyone have any experience with this product or SDC?
What is the issue and with which Kawasaki's?

What is the issue?
What chance do I have of any electrical malfunction (if all wiring on my part is done correctly) or a failure of some kind?
Parasitic battery draw?

its only if you have a certain type of flasher circuit stock. it just won't work and you'll have to return it to the stock wiring to work. thats the worste case.

OK, so I installed the unit last night. The dual load equalizer is required at least for my Ninja. The turn signal flashes very fast without it but once added they work perfectly. The instructions are very good but you must follow them EXACTLY and pay careful attention to the steps because one of the steps is counter-intuitive.
Also, maybe using different connectors than the ones supplied might not be a bad idea. They are really bulky.
All in all they work great and I definitely feel more secure in the notion thatthe people following me will see me more clearly whenI brake and because I now have running light turn signals.
