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.
Where do you get one of these? Have not been able to locate one on BikeBandit or any other online parts store....
I've had that "feature" on two bikes. The first, a 78 XS650E, would cancel out while I was sitting in the turn lane waiting. The second, my current GS, quit a couple of years ago. I don't miss it at all. And the GS is my 15th street bike, btw.The generics will work, but if your bike has self-cancelling signals, that feature will no longer work.

Right but your front bulbs have two filiments. One for running lights one for signals.. If the signal is out, it wont flash.. Not figuring you're dumb or anything, but I didnt know that for a while myself

Also, if you dont have the wires connected right, they wont flash. Gray to gray, (gray is running) Right side signal is green to black, BW to BW. Other side is black to black, gray to gray, BW to BW..
just running from the computer to the garage, trying to get them working before the Hill Country ride this weekend. I will yank the front bulb and see if one of the filiments is broke...I know the feeling brother. I have to replace my signals completely before, say, wednesday or thursday and then get some shake down on it before we leave for WV friday morning at the crack of dawn. Its gonna be a bit tight.. we'll see. All of my signals actually worked after the crash, but i kept blowing my signal fuse so the wiring in one of them is likely broken or touching the housing or something.. I dunoo..Got ya..thanks josh, didn't mean to sound short,
It's a load issue... had the same thing on my 750 until I got an electronic relay. Exact same symptoms.
You either have the wrong wattage bulbs or the wrong relay.....

Bet thats whats wrong with my 76 750s.. I had a GSR member send me some REALLY nice OEM signals. Hooked em up and they wont flash. Checked all my connections, grounds, etc. They light up, but no flashy. I will have to check out the flasher. The one thats in there is the old OEM big silver beer can looking one. Hooked the old signals up, and it worked fine. Doesnt like the new ones. Thanks for the tip DanYour "quick fix" is to go to Kragen & pick up their light duty electronic relay (not the heavy duty truck one, won't work). It's two pin. Bright yellow & translucent & costs about $4.
Cable tie it to the original mount & you'll be good...
