Lots of us are guilty. I've gotten used to automated cancellation on another bike and my nubee daughter just plain forgets. I noticed the following web site to supply a turn signal beeper.

Glen specializes in aftermarket parts for the Honda VTX, but I wonder if that is adaptable to the GS?

I got into the habit of constantly pushing the cancel on the signals... I just hit it every so often no matter what :thumb:
are you trying to say that I ride like an old lady?

Don't worry, you're not the only one! :laugh:
The bad thing is I never forget unless I'm riding with friends!
I fortunately developed an OCD for pressing that cancel button whenever i remember. It works for me..
I'm pretty good at remembering now, but sometimes hit the cancel button again just to make sure. :icon_lol:
I have seen a turn signal delay that only allows your signal to flash for like 9 seconds then shuts off. I'll see if I can find it again. But I do the same thing.
I always push twice or more.
My other bike (Yamaha :icon_rolleyes:) has an automatic cancelling unit which switches of the turn signal after a few hundred meters. I have to get one of those on my GS5.

I have developed the same disease!
It works good though.. :thumb:
I guess that would make me "me 10th"? Push, push, push. Usually just a couple times after any turn where I use them. It's a useful tic to develop; even long time riders who don't have it can ride for miles with a turn signal flashing otherwise. ;)
I find that if I'm not letting my mind wander during a ride, as a rookie does sometimes, I make the turn signals part of my rhythm. Usually after the first upshift out of the turn.
I like the idea of a little beeper though since distractions still make you forget.
birdman=not button happy yet
my click cancel works about half the time never works for a left turn any more i need to replace it
I usually just leave them on, so I am prepared for the next turn.
:laugh:
Here's a couple of links from jcwhitney. These are the beepers Im still trying to find the auto cancel set up, But I would rather not use that one anyway.
