Default installed monkey bars and now have problem
I think I have a problem, the turn signals stay lit up like running lights. Is this normal? Dont remember them being on all the time. The turn signals work fine and so do all the controls.
Help

The instructions suck from yaffe

I got an 07' and until I pulled the wire for running lights they ran. I think you are "ok".

The front signals do work as running lights as well and come from the factory like that. It sounds like you are golden. Now let's see those bars.

The front turn signals or the rear? Do you have the module that activates your rear blinkers when the brake is applied? If so, it sounds to me like you may have broken the tip off your brake light sending unit on the front brake lever. Very common thing to have happen when changing bars, grips, etc. HD shop manual tells you to put a piece of cardboard between the lever and housing where they meet.

Just a guess. Did you hear a small snap the first time you pulled your front brake lever?

I'm about to install my PY monkey bars, So my question is did you have to use extension's (TBW,lights, ect.. ) with you PY monkey bars. I was told that you only need extension's if you bars are 16" or more. I have my cluch and brake cable's.
