"Standard flasher units do not work with LED indicators, an LED Compatible flasher unit must be fitted

If a warning light is fitted, a "Tweaker" will be needed, see below."
 
No, the OEM flasher is a bi-metal type of flasher unit, and requires a considerable amount of electical load to operate.

You can get a LED compatible 2 wire flasher at most auto parts stores. You will need to rewire your indicator lamp with diodes (the tweaker mentioned above) else all 4 lights will blink.
 
Just to clarify, the stock flasher can work with led lamps IF you add resistors to the circuit. Then the flasher will see suitable load sufficient to heat the bimetallic strip to toggle on and off.
The amazon led flasher should work fine as it is two prong type. I have these on my led equipped classic min (negative earth but that sould not matter). A three prong type might not work with positive earth setups.

Note as stated, if you have a turn signal indicator, it will not work with all led lamps, all four lamps will blink together unless you fit a tweaker to the indicator connections, which only lets current flow one side path at a time.

For classic bike/car leds, flashers, tweakers. Ive had several orders from them in recent past and they are a great place.

One tip for leds, you need the same colour led as the lens you intend to put over it. This is because leds emit a narrower range of light colours, so a white led used in an amber or red lens will not be making a very bright lamp appearance. So order ambers for turns, reds for brake etcc.
