My '91 FXRs had self-cancelling signals! I know, not a softail, but if they put it on the FXR's why not on the softails.

I'm guessing it's either not hooked up or can't be due to the type of speed-O.

I thought that, at least on the newer bikes, the self cancel worked via a lean angle sensor. Easy to check, turn the blinker on and go straight

It turns off while going straight. Sometimes if I turn mine on too soon, I have to turn it on again before turning.

jrr,

They work as I described from 1999 on down, anything above 99 is not an EVO and I have no real experience with them.

Well, got my service manual and finally had time to open up the bike. The '93 does come with self canceling turn signals; the module is mounted directly under the instrument panel/keyswitch between the tanks. Unfortunately, the wh/gn wire isn't connected to anything and the "new" speedometer doesn't have a reed switch to connect it to. Looks like I'll either have to get a new speedometer or else manually cancel the signals.
