The hyperflash (if that what it's really called) does not occur on hazards because the blinker relay sees enough load - front LED Trail Gears AND the rears whch are probably still conventional incandescents - for it not to hyperflash. With left or right, only half of total of filaments load the relay.

Solutions:
(1) Buy resistors to connect in parallel with LED turn signal lights (defeats energy-saving feature of LED's, OR
(2) Modify blinker relay (google ways to do it), OR
(3) Buy replacement blinker relay that is compatible with LED's
