Hey guys. Have had 1125R mirrors (clear lense) on my Firebolt for more than a year now. My pops smacked into one backing up his truck. Now my signals are acting erratic. Now, they work at low speeds, but at high speeds/high RPM they act erractic.... speedup to the point of almost being just a steady light. As soon as I slow down they go back to behaving normally. Is there anything I can do? Can they be dissaembled and checked for loose parts or something? I have a flasher installed as well for my LED integrated tail.

Check your electrical connections and wiring.
As you speed up, the vibration is breaking the circuit somewhere.

Hmmph, had another thought.
If you have a mechanical flasher module(bi-metal strip w/ contacts) that could also be the culprit.

Nice dude thanks. I'mma pull the fairings off and check EVERYTHING!! Guess the mirror smack knocked something loose.

Thanks!

If it's a loose connector I would normally expect it to be "off" rather than constantly on, it needs 12V and an earth to be on so a loose connection would probably disconnect one or the other.. I'd suggest.

On the other hand, if it's a switched earth system (with a constant 12V)I'd suspect that the earth is loose and shorting on something.

If it's both lights that are on too fast then I'd look at the relay first..
