Turn Signal Button Conversion
Due to circumstances beyond my control (like being born) I'm riding around w/o fingers on my right hand. I can use the throttle and front brake just fine but hitting the right hand turn signal on my '07 Dyna Bob just doesn't work too well. I either have to cross over and use my left hand or take my right all the way off the gas to hit the button and since neither of them are safe options I'm instead just stuck driving around in giant left hand squares since I don't want to use the signal. ;-) Now back in the day, I remember some young and foolish high school kid that happend to own a Jap bike, and on that bike the stock turn signals were via a rocker type switch (left/right/push button to cancel) on the left handlebar. Anyone have some idea's or links I can refer my dealer to so we can fix my little problem, hopefully in either a stylish or at least, non-obtrusive way?
Thank you.

My daughter's Buell Blast has the turn signal switch you describe. Ask your dealer if he could wire up a switch from a Buell onto your bike. Heck, he may even be able to do it and keep the self-cancelling feature so you don't have to press in the middle to turn them off. Good luck!

Hey Bob,
What's the scoop on disabling motorcycle turn signals in the great state of Colorado??

Why not just use a hand signal for right turns?
Or move to CO where turn signals on all motor vehicles are disabled at the dealerships.
