    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.

Hi, I own a 1978 GS1000E and Im experiencing the common problem with the indicators/turn signals not working. I am told that I need to replace my "turn signal control unit" to fix this problem. Fortunately I have been offered some used units, however each of the control units I have been offered ALL look different.
I would appreciate if somebody could send me a photo of this control unit (1978-1979)... preferably in situ on the bike if possible please. This will help ensure I buy the correct item. Many thanks!
 
there are two plugs, one has six wires, the other has four. you can see the wires coming out of the unit on the top right.

Hi, thats great, thanks very much for the photo.... May I also ask, exactly where is the control unit itself and how do I access it. I cannot see it in your photo, but is it under the seat?
 
it's the black box below and to the right of the rear brake fluid reservoir. attached to the battery box.
 
It looks like these.

Hi Rustbronco, thanks for your input.... and might you have spare one for sale?
 
Good luck finding one that works, unless it's from a trusted member on here of course. A lot of us do a fix with a couple of relays to fix this problem.
 
If I recall correctly, all those unit's had some sort of an issue. Flashes one side- no flash- no self cancel etc. I wish I had the time to build a test platform to see if any might be worth your trouble.

Brighton where?
