Anybody tried the aftermarket self canceling turn signal modules sold by ST2?

No. My '83 still has the OEM and it still works. No need for aftermarket

82 850g has self canceling turn signals. 81 1100e has them...
2022 Z900rs nope. 2016 FJR nope.
That was a big reason I got out of the FJR game.
I think all street motorcycles should have self canceling turn signals as standard.My Motorcycles:
22 Kawasaki Z900 RS (Candy Tone Blue)
22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
79 1000e (all original)
82 850g (all original)
80 KZ 650F (needs restored)Comment

Strange, ain't it, I've always wondered why early "80's" had them, and working well, then dropped them. Much like the l"reg. cab" Toyota Tacoma, last few yrs. of production the intermittent wipers weren't offered, even as an option. Always wondered who made those decisions and why? I'd guess their profits $$$$$.... An after mkt. ad-on system may be interesting1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw.

You GUESS $$$? Oh Phil, I always knew you were one of the sharper blades in the drawer!
(Just funning; you know me, right?)
It positively VEXES me that modern bikes would be sold without self-cancelling when the technology was perfected so many decades ago.
Money. Lack of money. How much shyte has it caused throughout history?

Seems like $150. Not cheap, but an okay price.Ed

Well, my 81 GS750E did not come with them. I am sick of going down the road with them on. Thanks to the ones that actually answered the questionComment

We all do it. I know I do. I've ridden with many seasoned GS friends and it's funny how often someone leaves the signal on.

$150 seems a lot, but I spent nearly that for an LED gear pos. display thing, from Hole Shot, for my B-12, just cause I'd got ust'a them on my earlier Suzukis. If they work, reasonable well,, may be worth the $150... This is first I've heard of them.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

It's become such a reaction for me to turn them off, I guess I'm one of the few that finds them unnecessary. It could be that the light on my Suzuki really lets you know when you have one on.

Yeah, I rarely forget to turn mine off, but really embarrassing when a fellow rider rides up to remind me I forgot.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

Yes, VERY embarrassing. I've chosen to forget all such occurrences.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

More than embarassing, it's DANGEROUS! Drivers make assumptions-among many examples you can probably imagine: the car waiting for you at the yellow traffic light sees your left blinker on and turns in front of you....
(surviving)Bikers are used to treating other vehicles' signals with some caution but cars?-maybe not so much.Last edited by Gorminrider; 03-04-2023, 01:06 PM.Comment
