 OKay heres the deal, she has a 12cg and she finds it annoying that we all know we leave them damn blinkers on way pass the turns, has anybody here done or know of how one can do it inexpensive to adapt them?,... say like the flht`s etc that after a turn they turn off automatic?????? If you guys can answer her question for her, I`ll try to get it gear it up for her.... | ||

Thanks M1, Just wonder though, if there was a simple way for one to do it out of the local auto. parts store?Ya know a relay here ,there a few wires etc.etc  | ||
| Hogs |
I checked their unit out there BTW M1, Yup that wd. do the job but it wd. be like 150.00 to 160.00 bucks by the time i got it up here in Canada.. Looking for the AL CheapO unit. Maybe radio shack or , something simple... | ||
| Daves |
Or, just remember to hit the little yellow button? | ||
| Hogs |
True,you are right, I forget all the time | ||
| Hogs |
I`ll have to get the wife here to get her own account she can be Mrs. Hogs LoL Instead of me typing for her ... | ||
| Daves |

I was going to install a blinding LED light on my dash to remind me that my blinker is on... | ||
| Kandie |
That would be gaudy! | ||
| Joele |
They make those things that vibrate underneath the seat to let you know the blinker is on. | ||
| Hogs |
Hey Joele, I `ll have to let her know about that, I`m sure she would like that proabally in more ways than one heheh Hogs wants to know where he can get one... | ||
| Ronlv |
just dont use your blinkers and you wont have that problem i have no blinkers in the front and intergrated led's in the rear hardly ever turn them on i use only when followed by police | ||
| Joele |
Haha!!! I didn't mean to go there but that's funny! | ||

The little black box that is the cancelling "brain" used on H-Ds works in conjunction with the speedo. The unit is pricey and you need the special speedometer too. Tell her to use the original, self-cancelling organic signal that came as stock equipment when she was born. Or drill turning off the signal for a few minutes a day. I'll shut up now. AL | ||

I frequent a Suzuki Volusia board (to keep my wife's bike up to date), and it has practicly the same control stet up as us Buelligans...they suggest installing a piezio-electric buzzer in the center consol..then the turn signal flashes, the buzzer goes BEEEEP...a rather annoying and effective reminder to turn the dang thing off. A similar setup could be done on the Buell, by hooking a radio-shack piezio-buzzer (less than $5) in parallel to the signal ground wire (i think, not electrics expert) Hide the buzzer behind the speedo, and BZZZZ..ya got your auto(reminding)signal indicator! a $5 solution to a $0 cost problem  | ||

| Hogs |

I was following Erik B on a ride. He forgets too. Cool. | ||

Cancel frequently, cancel often. I get in the habit of, every time I look around and think how nice a day it is for riding, hitting the cancel button. Or, every time I almost get hit by some idiot, hit the cancel button. Or as a more frequent reminder, every time I have to stop for gas  , hit the cancel button!! | ||

My XB even has the "idiot" light and my girlfriend pulls up beside me to tell me I left it on AGAIN. She is really just showing off her self cancelling signals, in a cruel way. | ||
| New12r |
I try to hit cancel every time I speed away from a stop, but I still forget. | ||
| Jerseyguy |
I still forget too & then feel like an idiot when I finally see it. | ||
| Trac95ker |
Is it possible to file down what ever piece locks the button to the left or right? It seems like that would'nt be to hard to figure out. | ||

On the 'viberider' thing.. A buddies wife had one installed in a custom cruiser she built. Beautiful thing, white with custom white leather and blue pegasus/wizards etc. Anyway, she had it mounted under the riders position. At shows she would start up the bike and let other ladies have a seat and rev the motor.. It was a great smile inducer.. Until at one show a bunch of ladies from the CMA started fighting over who was next. They had to pack the bike away to protect it and the peace of the event. Lesson to learn from it.. Never get between a born again and an electric variable speed vibrating device that is covertly placed for her pleasure.. I forget too.. especially since my other bike has an auto shut off.. oh well.. I just try to get in the habit of tapping the cancel every time I turn. Oh well.. | ||

HEy Blublak, Mr. Hogs here LoL anyways thats too funny an ald fashion Cat fight Gotta like that LoL... Ideals are coming my way NoW ! | ||
| Hogs |
But come on guys where are all them Wire Wizards out here, Must be an inexpensive fix for this, I myself leave the damn blinker on as well ... | ||
| Bonesbuell |
Good reminder for me is checking the switch/light after shifting gears coming out of every turn. | ||
| Raymondt |
The standard sportster has nice self canceling feature possibly it could plug in somewhere? | ||
| Vikingdave |
I believe If you hand signal your more visible(during the day)and there ain't nothin' ta turn off. I also don't like fudgin' round letrisity, so tha's my lazy man's 2 cent. |
