That is interesting... I've never really paid any attention to my Ducatis, but most cars are out-of-phase.
What voltage do you actually see on the lead for the tell-tale light?
Maybe it's some interaction with the flasher relay - how many wires?

I'm just curious to see (ie prove) what effect they might have.

I'd caution to check to see just how hot they get before installing them... Think those were used in one of my cars as panel illumination for the heater - and the plastic tubes that held them in place were deformed and melted from the stock bulbs when I swapped LEDs in...

Here's hoping that the author is better at electrics than they are at the use of language.

They're 'Merkins. They call the blinky lights that aren't in the dash "the flashers"...
