    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...

    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.

eck it wont let me edit it but my bikes a 1980 gs850g

the wires look fairly gimp where the previous owner tried to splice the sidecar lights into the motorcycle and ehh i mean it looks bad

but all the lights work the left blinkers work
but the right blinker when on makes a clicking sound
not like the click you hear when the blinkers working but a real fast click
almost like the box is vibrating its a faint click

have some other probs but if i could get the right blinker fixed think i could atleast drive it to a shop and have em service the bike

with a sidecar its a bitch to find somone who can help me haul it to a shop

i will try to upload pics of the wiring
and video with the sound the signals making
and the sound of the engine running it just doesnt sound right to me
thats why i want to get everything serviced

mainly want a safe ride for me and my lil girl ill try my best to fix what i can but when it comes to brakes or wiring i know i need someone with exp

It sounds like a short in the right side turn signal wiring. start by disconnecting one turn signal, (front or rear) then the other to see if the fast clicking problem goes away. the short could be in one of the turn signal lamps. if not, then I suspect you'll get to go through the wiring looking for a short to ground.

Hi Mr. dcnadeau81,

Check/clean/repair all of the connections in the wiring harness. Look for frayed wires, melted connectors, dirty grounds, etc. Eliminate the simple stuff first. Yes, I know it's tedious but you have to start somewhere.

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
