On these bikes the positive feed goes through the ignition switch, to the blink switch/hazard switch (splits into two paths here), to the appropriate flasher (left/right is one flasher, hazards is another) unit, (split combines again) to the bulb, to the frame/common ground.
Is the bulb always on with the ignition switch? Does it only come on when you flip the turn signal switch to left/right? Did you replace the flasher for the hazards/is the hazard switch on?
If all four bulbs are coming on then the wiring is not right and you'll have to trace the path in that fashion.

What exactly is it doing? Single filament bulbs in the dual filament sockets may be causing the "always-on" filament to be lit only.
Are the rear bulbs blinking?

This really sounds like the issue - the flasher should not have a constant hot wire. It should only go on when the hazard switch is enabled (on the hazard flasher) or the turn signal switch is enabled (on the turn signal flasher).

Where is the other wire you have at the front going?

Are the rear blinkers dual filament also? If so, that's not a ground wire, but the constant-on wire.
