indicator buzzer

[sbrumby]

Have left the indicators on by mistake a few times now, its an age thing. I rememered a 750F1 honda I had many moons ago.
This had an indicator buzzer on as standard which was louder than the engine and in town this was the first thing the pedestrian heard. Anyway old ebay again about £5 delivered complete with instructions and scotch locks and ty wraps all fitted in about 5 minutes. Works great can be heard over the sound of the engine. You all should think about fitting one of these to your steed as it could just save your life.

I've got beepers on the Ruggerfield
My old Honda 400/4 had an indicator switch which offered increasing resistance to the thumb on its way to switching. I always thought this little bit of ergonomic design really helped me remember that I'd actually put them on. The standard Efield effort was rubbish in comparison.

I remember that my Yam XS750 (S reg in UK, 1977) had self cancelling indicators. It was done with a timer circuit, from memory I think they stayed on for 20-30 seconds if you forgot to cancel them.
Or did I dream it?

Just back from a ride on the XS750. But since it's a cafe racer, there's an automatic self-cancelling feature built into your arm. It's called "needing to reach for the clutch or the brake, so you're all done signalling". All of which presents a considerable dilemma - whether to use British English or American English when spelling cancelling and signalling.

So when your fingers extend your thumb automatically pokes out right toward the turn signal switch

Sorry for the confusion Coach. Cafe racer = no indicators. Thus the use of the arms. It's one of my son's builds and he wouldn't tolerate cluttering the ascetics with indicators. It's form over function I fear.

Ron.
I used arm signals going to work this morning on a mini roundabout (a roundabout on a T juction, would you beleive it!) the driver approaching me gave me a puzzled look. Far too many creature comforts on vehicles now.

Far too many creature comforts on vehicles now.

Agreed. Although some would argue for the safety of lighted indicators, as someone else on here noted, an arm may be more obvious than the tiny indicators found on some bikes.
