On my 1990 there is an electronic module that does signal duties. You press the button to turn them on, then press again to turn off. Press them both and they all flash together. It is quite expensive as a Harley part (if they are still made) but there may be an aftermarket alternative.

My 90 is the same as Graham's, even has a thing that cancels it after a number of flashes and I think a thing that cancels it after you lean it over and then back up.

Congrat's on getting it running. Paint is way over-rated. Nothing quite as bad as a primer grey bike/car/truck barrelling down the road. IMHO

I had forgotten about that. It was so annoying (like turning itself off at the wrong moment) that I disabled it. There is a white/green wire to the speedo which is easy to disconnect.

Tomato/tomatoe - I kind of like it.... the quest to see what it is going to do this time! Will it turn off, will it keep blinking, did I lean it over far enough? These are the simple questions that can occupy the mind when it is uncluttered of distractions like paying bills, dealing with teenagers, etc.

gnafin, I have a new in box kit that I was going to install and then my newer wire harness had one. I gave $75 for it ... it does come with the wiring and instructions. Let me know.
