That's what I was thinking. Disconnect and see what happens.....

Also have you checked your voltages at Higher rpm's

You guys down there in Texas drive mighty fast. Maybe the lens are loose and the bulbs are blowing out?

I would put a meter on the blinker wires and have someone rev it to see if it's dropping voltage. Then check continuity on the ground for the blinkers and see if it looses conection while reving.

You could make a temporary ground for them and see if it solves the high rpm problem.

Well that suxs Try this Connect a volt /ohm meter (black lead) to the Neg side of the battery. Then connect the red lead to the ground wire for the turn sig AT the bulb socket. Meter set to read Ohms. You should get a reading on the meter, hopefully less than 1 ohms resistance. Fire up the bike , run the RPM up to the rpm you mentioned that the problem makes itself shown.

If the reading on the meter goes up high (like 2-3-4 ohms) or as I think it might show OL (out of limits). Thats telling you the wire (circuit) is going Open or no connection. Thats gonna be something to fix right off.

Each bulb has it`s own ground.

Check to see if the Horn is doing the same thing as the signals, it is on the same circuit.

This may help eliminate some of the wiring that needs to be checked.

It sure sounds as if a circuit is going open as the vibration increases (although we know that Softails don`t vibrate).

Have you checked the connector for the rear lights under the seat? You should be able to read pin voltage going to the turn signals. My wires were cut going thru fender holes.

I forgot to mention, the 94's have a built in distance cancelling circuit of about 100' built into the speedo. So on the highway you have to hold the button longer, the cancelling circuit doesn't start until you release the button.
