I had the Protons on my '07 Graphite 675 and I loved them. They have the load resistors built in so they blink at the same speed as your regular turn signals. They do have three different blinking patterns; normal, strobe, and fade. The strobe wire may have been connected, that would account for why it seems they were blinking faster then normal.The blinking pattern is dependent on which color wire from the Protons you connect to your bike. I set it for strobe and it was very eye catching, especially at night.
