Question about Turn Signal operation
#1

New to me '89 softail.
Previous bike was a honda shadow.
Regarding the turn signal operation I am a bit confused, or possibly have a problem.
pressing the left or right turn signal buttons will flash the appropriate turn signals both front and back.
when I release the button it no longer flashes.
I thought it should have a turn signal canceling module, but when I look in the parts catalog, there isn't one listed.
Is this the way they operate normally?
Perhaps someone can explain, would be a big help.
Thanks,
Seadog

I agree.
Sometimes faced with the decision of turn signals or no turn signals. I try to use them all the time, but sometimes it's just not possible.... Clutch, front brake, throttle and a damn turn signal that wont stay on through a turn.
who thought this engineering catastrophe up?
I am an electrical engineer, and I could have done better. But so far this has been mu only major complaint.
Maybe its time to design my own.

Frustrating and unsafe.

You can add a turn signal module, and change your speedometer to make it do what you want. If you've got the time and money.
