Ok BigAl,
Rustybronco is looking at the diagram in his owners manual. Apparently that does not tie up with the wiring diagram in the workshop manual or the colour diagram both of which are available from BassCliff's site. As he's always sharp on these kind of things, it caused some confusion. However, in light of that discrepancy and the seeming agreement between your system and the one on my machine, here's what we think should sort this out for you...
Currently your flasher is out of circuit and is the reason why there's no blinking... uh... well blinking, the last two mods below bring it back into circuit. Here's what needs to be done:
at the control box, connect:
1 - light blue/black -> black (connects handlebar switch left o/p to left signal pair) DONE
2 - light green/black -> light green (connects handlebar switch right o/p to right signal pair) DONE
3 - light blue -> brown/yellow (connects o/p of flahser to handle bar switch on wire used for cancel)
at the handlebar switch connect:
1 - brown/yellow -> orange (connects o/p of flasher to common of turn signal switch)
All those changes need to be done before you test anything but take note that I've never been into the handlebar switch so the orange I listed above is from the diagram. When done that should give you blinking turn signals for the duration you hold the switch in one direction or the other. When you let go, they should stop.
Assuming those changes get you to that point, the easiest way to complete the job is to change the existing momentary switch with a latching type from somewhere. When you do that, make sure you retain the connections as described above.
Another option would be to use some latching type relays and recreate the existing functionality in a (cheaper) replacement control box. I haven't looked at doing that but I will when time permits. The one I did recreates the self cancel feature but can also be full manual. Beauty is it plugs directly into the harness and works with the momentary switches so no mods required.
NOTE: DO NOT be tempted to splice the brown/yellow to the orange at the harness connector. The orange going to the handlebar switch also feeds constant 12v to the main light switch. If you connect the brown/yellow to the orange at the connector your main lights (headlamp and the like) will flash all the time. No avoiding it mate, have to open up that switch. A word of caution: I've never opened that particular one, but experience of others would suggest you are real careful watching for springs, minute contacts and assorted bits of plastic flying out across the room.
Post back and let us know how it goes. GOOD LUCK.
