    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

What a Monday!

Ok the day started a little rough when I dropped my glasses putting on my helmet and a couple of other things.
The real drag was when I turned on my left turn signal to change lanes and button fell off. You know, the one that controls the turn signals and headlight high/low beams.
A quick check at Bike Bandit shows the unit as a whole for 99.00 bucks. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to maybe repair the one I have (did a search and didn't find anything) or guts out of an otherwise trashed unit I could buy? 1981 gs1000g

Thanks,
 
Im looking for one too. 1982 with auto cancel turn sigs and the horn button. keep us posted if you find a good source.
 
Try posting this under 'Parts Wanted'. Somebody probably has one they can send you..............

Thanks,
Joe
 
I'll put something in parts wanted. Was just hoping someone might have a repair suggestion. I'm cheap by birth, upbringing, and enviroment. :-D

Thanks,
 
Mine was trashed when I got from the PO. It had been glued. I re-glued at least twice then finally lost it going down the road. I just kept my eyes peeled on ebay. It took a while to mind one similar, but they do show up. I think I paid about 30 bucks plus shipping. Just have to look at them closly since some have the choke there, some don't, some designed for self canceling, some not, etc...
 
I replaced mine with a unit off a '78 Honda 'wing that happens to be full of parts in my storage space.....:-D took a little bit (yeah right!!!!!!) of wiring mods,shim to keep it tight on the bars, and it works fine. No more self-cancelling though, but I could care less about that!:-D
