Default '03 Ultra passing lights flashing...

The passing lights on my new to me '03 Ultra Classic flash/blink. The bike's a Shriners model, so is that how they're supposed to be? (Like parade mode or something.) How would I go about fixing them so they don't flash?

Thanks for any help!

Alternately flashing, like police wig-wags? The cop bikes have flashers in them which are removed prior to being converted to civilian. The previous owner may have installed a cop bike flasher or an aftermarket modulator.

Alternating like police bikes. Where would I look for a wig-wag modulator? Are they easily removed?

Thanks for the offer Mike! I'm down in Ahwatukee (Chandler Blvd & I-10) and won't get around to working on the bike again until Sunday. I'm going to look at how some of the aftermarket wig-wags connect and then look for the module itself. I'll definitely shoot you a PM if it looks more than a plug & play removal and figure out a time that works best for you.

I'm free days this week- Saturday I go to the UK for a month for work.
I'm 30 minutes away- I'd be happy to have a look with you.



Buelligan666 and I have posted some threads on wiring and lighting modifications.

a modulator or a wig wag module can be wired in, or can be constructed with a couple of relays.
