Forgotten turn signals

Pigeonroost · August 01, 2008, 10:55:17 AM

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

Don't worry, you're not the only one!

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.

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

) 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..

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.

birdman · August 03, 2008, 07:03:28 PM

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

Mdow · August 03, 2008, 08:00:14 PM

my click cancel works about half the time never works for a left turn any more i need to replace it

dgyver · August 04, 2008, 08:19:03 AM

I usually just leave them on, so I am prepared for the next turn.

Chanse · August 07, 2008, 02:34:46 PM

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.
