Hey, Steve, I've done something similar on my 2004 Honda Sabre.
I use a LM555 timer chip
Since the duty cycle can only be set to a
maximum of 50% on and 50% off (more or less) that means that the
output is HIGH for AT LEAST 50% of the time
--HC

You can get any duty cycle you want. Put a diode in parallel with the
resistor between pin 7 and pin 6. Point the cathode (stripe) toward
pin 6.
