Default 08 crossbones.. running legends with turn signal??

Alright guys I need your Help on this one... I have a 2008 crossbones and just put an order in for a set of legends air ride that should be here by the end of the week.. now in all my minor workings on this bike I have removed the front and rear turn signals with all wiring intact and my goal if i can get it figured out is to use my right and left turn signals on the handlebars to control my air ride... example right-raise and left-lower and I have a few questions??
1) how do i get the switches contact to stay connected without BLINKING or STAYING ON untell I release is that something to do with my turn signal module???
2) does anyone know what wires i need to the air ride??
this is my guess with out seeing the shocks yet
12+
12-
12+ when raise button is pushed
12+ when lower button is pushed
Any help would be much appreciated guys thanks!!!

With the stock oem switches you would need to hold them down to activate.. They are actualy momentary switches what keeps them on or blinking is like you said the actual modules. Great idea

thanks Joe What.. so the goal is to have it activated weather its raise or lower ONLY when the switch is actually being pushed without blinking??
....how do i get the blinking to stop??
....how do i make it so i dont have to push the button twice to activate and deactivate the switch??

so let me get this straight you want to run your turn signals and the air system of the same buttons? If so cant do it with what you have you would need a serious of latch relays i.e hit once and turn signals function hit it twice the air comes on etc...

alright i was looking in my service manual and found this wiring diagrams.. then it was easy there is a white/purple(left switch) and a white/brown(right switch) wire going from the switch to the tsm so i cut those wires and capped the end going to the module and now i have my raise and lower wires for the air ride that are only activated when the switch is being pressed and it does not blink anymore... perfect....... should be receiving them in a few days and ill get some pictures up
