Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone had trouble getting used to turn signals with both hands (I'm used to both of them being on the left side)..

I always have trouble keeping the throttle steady when using my right hand to turn on the right signal...Am I a ditz?...has this happened to anyone else?..any tips out there?...turning left all the time will certainly cut into my travel time...

2008 XL883C and lovin' it

 

3 lefts make a right. Once you get used to it, it will seem odd the other way. It took me a while to figure out how long to hold the button down so it wouldn't canceljust before making the turn.

 

it' takes getting use to

 

Hold throttle steady, just reach over with your thumb, you'll get used to it, specially when it's within reach, no pro blema!!!

 

You can always use your right foot to hit the button since you aren't supposed to brake during a turn.

 

lol..Thanks Danny...I can honestly say I hadn't thought of that trick ...lol

 

Never thought it was a problem!

 

At least half the people I see out on the roads (no matter what they are riding or driving) never bother to use their turn signals, so I guess it's not a big deal.

But actually.........

I've never had a metric bike, or one with turn signal controls just mounted on the left, so if I rode one of those I'd probably never be able to make a 'right turn' using the signals.

 

You could always use hand signals.........

 

Okay, the poor guy has a problem reaching for the button with his right thumb. NOW you want him to take a hand off the handlebars???


Actually, I'd be kind of surprised if anyone under 40 years old even knew what the hand signals were.
