#1 Turn signals help needed
04-17-2013, 08:10 AM
I need some suggestions on how to "fix" my turn signals so that I stop driving like an old woman, with one of my signal lights blinking because I forget to turn it off - actually, I find that the JH600's cancel-button a bit small for gloves.
Anyways, here are options I can think of:
1) Loud beeper - I tried this, but the non-weatherproof beeper was under my seat (patched after the relay) so it was muffled by the seat, exhaust note and helmet.
2) Install self-cancelling module - a little pricy ($120 US) for the model that will splice into a handlebar signal control that has left/right/cancel as one module.
3) Brighter dash lights - the JH600 turn signal indicators on the dash are not bright, at all, and the gauges (and turn indicator lights) are covered in a plastic which reflects sunlight.
I walked through the Electronic Market and found a nifty little LED red light (very bright) with a loud beeping ... but it needs a constant 12V (not pulsing, as is fed to the signal lights themselves). It is a somewhat small light which I could easily Dremel into the dash plastic.
Putting it up front, I would need the constant flow of 12V. So, I thought it would be easy to tap into the handlebar switch rather than going all the way back to the relay. I would prefer using just one LED light, but I did buy several and could mount two, if needed.
When I checked the current flow off the handlebar switch, I measured a pulsing flow when a signal was activated. Huh? WTF? Why is current pulsing up there, in the hand grip switch? For some reason, I have assumed that it would be a constant 12V in the hand control, and not pulse until after the relay.
Am I missing something?
Or does someone have a better suggestion?
Thanks
