[dsn_klr650] nklr aftermarket turn signals

[Dash Weeks]

Yeah I have stubbies on mine now and they didn't blink either, I had to replace the flasher. Don't add resistance in line, way too much work. Go to auto store and get a two spade Hvy Duty electronic flasher. Remove your tank and the replace the stock flasher with this one. Easy and cheap. The old style flashers are like $3-$4 and the electronic ones are $7-$9. Both will work fine, the electronic ones will last longer.... however.... you'll prolly never wear out the old style anyway. Oh yeah the flasher is under the tank, access on the right side but it's almost tucked completely under the main frame beam. LaterZ Dash At 03:36 AM 8/15/2000 -0400, Mark Wilson wrote:
