OK, the weather is just too cold, getting colder and it's gonna snow soon, so I got tired of waiting.
Did not take the Spyder outside, just ran it in the shop to try it again.
Basically did the "LaMonster method" with two details changed:
1. Instead of turning the key ON and doing the procedure, the engine was RUNNING.
2. Instead of blindly waiting 30 seconds, I watched the warning lights on the display. Once they did a real quick cycle through (don't blink, you'll miss it), I released the 4-way switch and turned off the 4-way flashers, then did the turn signal "let it blink once and turn the key OFF".
Works like a charm, and I did not have to do the other side, once was enough.

Thanks for the follow-up.
I bought the SB LEDS for my soon to be 2017 F3T and will install at the first service opportunity.

Hope works, I ordered the LED blubs from Amazon noted in OP first post. They are suppose to be delivered tomorrow.

For the record, the physical location of the resistors is irrelevant. They just need to be 'electrically' the same point.
Source ---------------------------------Resistor--LED
is the same as
Source --Resistor--------------------------------LED
(Note: This is not a wiring diagram. Resistors connect across the Source & ground.)

Anyone figure out how to reset the hyper flash on a 2018 with the new dash?

I was a little concerned about resistor location only because the turn signals are powered somewhat individually by the instrument cluster. The fronts are LED, the rears are incandescent. I have the resistors in the fairing, behind the front signals, wasn't sure if front vs. rear location would make a difference.
For now, the resistors are still in place near the front signals and the lights are working well, I'm going to stop.

I decide to throw in the towel and am retuning mine to Amazon.

Just found this regarding hyper flashing, changing flashers to "international mode" in BUDS is suppose to fix the issue on 2018+ Spyders. Anyone in East Valley of Phoenix have a BUDS system that could change that setting for me?
Well the nice guys at Nash in Mesa could not find a setting to change. Drats!

Today I installed 8 ohm 50w resistors and lights flash correctly now. There is no metal in the area behind the tail light assembles, so I put the resistors on standoffs on the back side of the saddle bags rear wall so the air can flow around them on all sides.

Normal flash when straight and fast flash when moving into turn
As I described above, I changed both the rear turn and backup bulbs to Amber LEDs and rewired the backup bulbs to be turn signals. I did not have fast flash.
Then for un-related reasons, I "reset" my electronics by disconnecting negative cable from the battery and temporarily touching it to the positive cable.
I got the fast flash. So performed the re-calibration procedure. The fast flash went away.
EXCEPT while actually in the middle of a turn.
That is, I will be in the turn lane or road with my handlebars straight-ahead with turn signal on with a normal flash rate. Then when I turn the handlebars while moving it switches to fast flash before automatically cancelling. This is repeated at the next turn -- normal flash when straight then fast flash moving into turn. I decided I like it. YMMV
