Turn signal safety

#1

Post by Old Fogey »

I'm notorious for forgetting to cancel turn signals; those of you who have ridden with me can vouch for that!
I even used an 1100 dash panel so that the indicator light were directly in front. That has helped, but I wondered if there was something out there to take the possibility away altogether.
This seems to be an answer:

I like it John. Also sold by Bezos on his app. Not sure 40 seconds is long enough for a left turn but easy to give it another 10 seconds with a second apply.

I can't say for that unit but I know the original turn signal cancelling system on the GL1100 was nowhere near long enough for some right turns, let alone left turns (this would be opposite in the UK), often requiring me to switch the signal back on several times before I was around the corner.
I've said it before: The real solution is to teach our eyes to scan across the instrument panel more often.
