The original Honda flasher relay has 3 wires, I'm not a lover of Led indicators, so I'd just throw the Led ones away and put some proper ones on that firstly can be seen, and secondly in the event of a failure while you're out you can get bulbs from virtually anywhere.

2 pin for LED's, 3 pin is standard as it comes with normal bulbs... Although you can use inline resistors if you have a mix of bulbs & LED's...so say you have front normal indis but LED rears, you would keep the std relay but put resistors inline for the rears.

The plug on the the loom will only go into the socket one way...or it should do as it shold have a little locking tang that fits into a corresponding loop on the relay.

A pic of it may help. :thumbup:

I've just had a look in the workshop manual and it looks like the green wire is earth/negative, the grey wire looks like it's switch live, switch on the handlebar, and the green and white wire looks like it's fused live.
