Posted January 29, 201015 yr Installing new turn signals today, and found that the previous owner had done away with the flasher relay. Soooooo, shopping around, I see that the relay plugs into something. What would this something be? And where would it be located. Whatever it plugs into is missing as well... Thanks
January 29, 201015 yr Moderator that something is located under the frame of the top spine under the rear of the tank ( in front of the battery) hopefully you can see the branch of the loom where it was! I am also assuming its the 2A2 model

I am also assuming its the 2A2 model Ok, I think I see where it possibly went. Going to need to replace this part along with the relay. Is there a name or part number I could look up? Can't see it in any fiche.
January 30, 201015 yr Moderator i think it is the same as the RD,s so get e 3 pin (mechanical not solid state /elelctronic) flasher unit from a bike shop, they are much cheaper than the real thing (if you can find one) but the self cancel will not work and you may find a slight delay in the flashers starting from cold almost like the unit needs to warm up i fitted an electronic one to my last rd resto it was fine til i started the engine then the flashers went into warp factor asshole mode, I:E they flashed so fast htey were nearly on all the time just dimmed slightly instead of flashing on and off merv
January 30, 201015 yr Author Thanks mervin, good advice. drewps, right, I found the part, but I also need the connector that plugs into the relay. I'm assuming it's something that I just need to splice into the turn signal circuit. In other words, I have a circuit, and I will soon have a relay, but how do I connect them? (what part?)
January 30, 201015 yr Author Ok, well I found a wiring harness with a flasher relay on ebay. Might as well go this route, as it's incredibly cheap. Thanks for the help though.
