    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

78 gs100 bad turn signal control, how to go around it

I believe from information I received another post my turn signal control unit is shot. My right blinker used to work at times but now is not working at all. The left works fine. It was suggested there may be a go around fix for this. I don't care if the signals self cancel anyway and do not want to spend $300 for a new unit. Does anyone know about using a bar switch from a 750? I really don't want to run without a blinker. Thanks for any help.
 
One option you may want to consider is using a newer push-to-turn unit. I mounted one on my '82 1100E from a '90 GSXR 750. It plugged right into the 1100 wiring harness, no splicing required. You have to unplug the controller otherwise it will only blink a few times and stop. Super easy mod, much better turn signal switch.
 
Oops! I meant to say push-to-CANCEL switch. Sorry for the confusion.
 
THE NEWER 1980 up has a single plug YOU can unplug it & the turn signals will work The 78-79 system has two plugs IT WILL NOT work with it disconnected must be modified to work
 
Yeah I wasn't sure if an older bike would work as easily with that mod as mine did. I just thought I'd pass that along anyway.
