    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...

Ok, I searched, but couldn't find a definitive answer on a couple questions. My bike had a windjammer farring which I promptly removed. I then bought some front turn signals and installed them. I can't seem to get them to work though. So here are my questions:

1) What is the wiring for them?
2) Do they turn on when I turn the headlights?
3) What kind of bulbs do I need to get?

Thanks. I love this forum!
 
Did the new signals come with a ground wire with a washer on the end? Sounds like you missed the ground. Try grounding the signal where it goes through the frame. Use a single filament bulb. Do you have a voltage checker(looks light a flashlight bulb with a roach clip ground)? Check to see if you have the hot wire for the signal going into the bulb itself. Turn on the ignition and the turn signal switch to the side your checking and find the hot wire. There should be a cluster of female connectors that are black with a white stripe in your headlight bucket, connect your ground to this. While you're in there check all your connections.

Awesome. I did connect the grounds, but I remembered that the bolts were pretty rusty. Maybe that was blocking it. I'll clean them and try again.
