At highway speeds, my turn signals blink very fast (several times per second).

They blink slower at street speeds and perhaps too slow at idle.

Is this normal? If not, what parts should I suspect? Rectifier? Voltage Regulator? 


The bike is a 1976 Honda CJ360T (inline twin, DOHC, air cooled).

Also, at idle one side blinks noticably slower than the other. 

Blink rate is very sensitive to battery voltage.
Do you have the correct bulbs installed?
Is this a recent development?  What changed?
Flashers do go bad, but affect both sides.
Reistance due to bad connection on one side?
Bad battery won't explain the different rates left/right
but does have signifcant effect on rate.
It's possible that you have more than one concurrent problem.
