    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.

These are all I use. They flash at the same speed as stock and are easy to wire up. Terminal B is power, terminal is E is ground, and terminal L gets connected to the light blue wire that was originally connected to your old flasher relay that feeds the turn signal switch.

I just run a fresh power line from battery through a ten amp inline fuse up to the flasher then run a fresh ground either back to the battery or to a frame bolt. Then the light blue wire currently connected to your stock flasher relay gets cut and attached to the L terminal. The rest of the stock wiring for the flasher can be ignored. Just tape it up and tuck it away. Then use a couple good zip ties to mount the new flasher to frame near stock location.
