Default Audible turn signal?

Looking for an audible turn signal for a 2012 FLHTK and 2008 FLHRC. I often change lanes and leave it on so I'm constantly taking my eyes off the road. Anyone ever heard of such a thing? FT

Not a bad idea, probably some electronical types around here that could help you figure it out

I could see tapping a relay into the turn signal circuit to drive a beeper...but I think you'd need 2 on modern bikes ( TSSM)- the old style you just get a louder clicker.

How's about the accessorry mirrors with the built in turn signal, should be plug and play
something like these:

as above, my 09 they turn off pretty reliably, the TSSM is tied to the speed and lean angle and is pretty good - to where I never think about it

I agree but I was talking about when I change lanes,not turns. They do cancel on turns. Call me weird but I have been riding 2 years now and I still can't get use to it. Thanks for any ideas. FT

It cancels after so many minutes or feet traveled you just aren't waiting long enough.

They should still time out when you don't have the brake on.

Easy, get a turn signal bulb with a beeper, just like the back up light bulb that beeps on pick ups or delivery vans. The back up bulb lights up and beeps. Had on on a 97 Ford Ranger already installed before purchase. Put the truck in reverse and it beeped. When the bulb burned out I put in a standard bulb. Look around the bulbs may cross reference.

They self-cancel in about 75 seconds
