On the Triumph, my most modern bike, and the only one with a single turn signal button thing which you push to cancel, it feels like it's actually mechanically doing something. regards, CrazyCam

The one on the Guzzi is definitely mechanical, because you can cancel the blinkers with the ignition off. Zebee

Clem's old XJ900 had the equivalent of an extra speedo cable running from the front wheel, which went through a little mechanical doovy and cancelled the indicators after 100m or so. You could also manually cancel them, of course. BTH

Might be possible to fit one of the switch blocks from one of these bikes and adapt it to work ? Nev.. '07 XB12X |
