Test the bulbs with a meter. Fast flashing is indicative of load missing from the circuit. When bulbs are in use the filaments become brittle. My guess is that when you took them out and tossed them the filaments broke. If the indicators are flashing then it isn't the fuse.
Most flasher units are actually designed to flash at a faster rate when a smaller current is drawn from them. This is by design to let the rider know there is a failed lamp.
Two 21 watt lamps would draw approximately 3.5 amps from the flasher unit. An LED lamp would only draw typically below 0.1A (Depending on specification and number of LEDs) then the total current for your setup would be around 2A - This is low enough to be seen as a lamp failure.
Flasher units for LED indicators are available on eBay or Amazon with prices ranging between five and ten pounds.
I am not a electronic wizz but i believe the led's will light up but do not have enough resistance to cause the internal breakers to work. I found this. The post that had the link said that it fixes fast blink and no blink conditions. http://www.greggscustoms.com/instruc...istor_Inst.pdf
Flashing too fast indicates too much current flowing and this would point to a bad bulb or shorted socket. Maybe a grounded wire in the circuit. Check these items with a DVM....
Sounds like you have installed LED turn signals in place of the original incandescent ones.
You will need to install resistors in line with each LED turn signal to slow the flashing down back to normal. "Trackside" products makes a load equalizing resistor for use with LED turn signals.
Modern Ducatis (and cars) don't have a conventional flasher. The blink rate is controlled by the dash cpu. The blink rate change is used to indicate that a bulb is out (by sensing low resistance). Using a resistor will fool the cpu into blinking correctly.
