In the end the fix I came up wich is free and everyone should have the parts....
I took the bulbs out of the OEM front turn signals. I soldered 18 guage wire to the two terminals (tip and side) and we (she helped) wrapped the bulb and attached wires in electrical tape.
If you are going to say its going to get hot and be a problem. We tested for that before we gobbed it up with tape and stuffed a potential fire ball up under the front of her new baby. we ran the turn signal for 30 minutes and the bulb was cool enough to touch.
NOTE: The flash speed in this fix is a little fast, but she found it acceptable.
HOW TO:
hook up the proton and the old bulb in parallel.
For those not circuit inclined - That means:
Plug each of the ends of the old bulb into one of the two signals running to the proton.

Just in case you didn't know, if the only modification you performed concerning LED's were the proton turn signals (still using OEM rear turn-signals & OEM taillight) then all you required was an LED flash relay (2 prong) which you can pick up at any Auto store (i.e. Autozone) for around $10.
The diode fix resolves issues when using 4 (or more) LED's on your bike, such as usng the proton turn signals as well as the bikemonkey integrated LED tail light. (of course LED flash relay is still required)
for all I know, that
may help someone else, though it has already been repeated
many times
