Default Need Help ASAP

I have a friend here on Vacation, he has a 1997 Ultra. When he hits the front break or his blinkers are on you can here it thru the speakers. Like if his 4 ways are on your thump, thump, thump thru the speakers. What would cause this and any idea how to repair this? I am at a loss.

I'm guessing it's a ground issue? Have any of you had this?

I do not know what he has for a sound system but I would check the radio/speaker ground.Additionally there are aftermarket suppresors that go into the power lead of the radio to stop this if he can not find a ground problem.

Check your turn signal module under the fairing, it's strapped to the right fork usually. Unplug and see if still does it, maybe a loose connection. ASAP?

Shouldn't the "Need Help ASAP" be used for a real emergency? This is an oh this is pesky problem, not an I am stuck on the side of the rode or the bike won't turn over type of thing.

Check the grounds and everything should be okay.
