So i tryed switching the resistor that we talked about above and it made not difference. The stock resistor was a 51ohm, i tryed a 27ohm, 10ohm, 1.5ohm resistor and they all flash at the same speed. So

I need help to disable the load sensing circuit in my flasher so it will flash at a normal speed. I have installed LED turn signals and it flashs really fast.

I couldnt get the focus thing on my camera to work properly - but i took several images.

Basically there is a transistor (small black thing with three legs) in the circled area - you just cut the outermost leg.

Wow thanks for the help, that worked perfect. Definetly the cheapest and easiest route to fixing the problem. How in the heck did you ever figure that out.
