I really didn't like having both turn signals on the same switch. And like stated it was wasn't even a button my like a slider thing. I think it makes more sense to have them on the corresponding sides.

 

You got me wrong. The Honda is the only point of comparison I have. Hence the things I point out in questions are typically things that are difference from that point of reference. Any adjustment is just that - an adjustment, which is often uncomfortable for a time.

And I'm sure I'll continue to have a number of "compared to my Honda.." questions. No need to see that as bashing my brand new beautiful bike.

 

Twice i've went to honk at someone and wound up with the left turn signal flashing - probably saved me a lot of grief in the end...

 

I do that, thats a hoot. And whats funnier is when you let people know you're turning left by giving them the horn... When that happens I just go with the flow and keeping beeping like I ment it the first time, then I'll eye ball someone close by and give them the evil eye like "Yeah, I'm looking at you bud...stay in your lane Hoss..."

Good times.

Made me laugh, haha. I had a foreigner friend visit, and he accidentally cut someone off. He flashed the hazards, thinking it's a proper way to apologize to the car behind, while the guy behind thought my friend was being a punk - cut him off and flash him. Lost in translation, I suppose haha.

 

Agree wholeheartedly with the Cruise thing, but what really got my goat was having to use your right hand to turn ON the cruise button on the fairing cap. You either have to decel when you take your hand off, or reach around the ignition swich with your left hand...


Well, that was an easy change. My cruise power switch is now on the left side of my fairing cap, and I've done 2 other guys switches that way as well. Thats the one complaint about harley ergonomics that I have.

Went for a ride a while back, wasn't planning on being out late. It was mid 70s when we left the house, mid 40s on the way home and I didn't have any poser gloves with me to keep half my fingers warm. By the time we got home, I hit the horn turning onto my road because my damned fingers were so numb. I can't imagine how that ride would have gone if I'd had to work both signals with my frozen left thumb. It would have been a honk at every turn!

 

Are these exclusive to touring bikes?

 

LMAO...That's funny

I hate that! There are times I just want to lay on the horn because of some dumba$$ cager and end up turning on the left signal!

 

why no, all modern harleys have turn signals.....



i know thats not what you meant, just my warped sense of humor.... and no, its pretty standard across the board, right signal, right side. left signal, left side...
