Hi Troops, When making turns I always put my turn signals on. The problem was that I would make the turn and forget to turn off the Turn Signal. Sometimes I would go for a block before noticeing that the Turn Signal was still on. So I bought a Universal Turn Signal Beeper from here: www.rvtoys.net/motormate_002.htmThe Beeper has three wires Two Red wires connect to your left and right turn signals and one is Ground. The Red wires already have Diodes in the wires. How to connect: On your Left Handlebar there are about 8 wires inside a rubber tubing for protection. The Orange wire is for your left Turn Signal and a Light Blue is for your Right Turn Signal. Connect one of the red wires from the Beeper to the Orange wire coming from the Left Handlebar and connect the other red wire from the Beeper to the Light Blue Wire coming from the Left Handlebar, Then connect the Black Ground Wire from the Beeper to any good ground and your done. Decide where you want the Beeper because you may need to add wire to the wires from the Beeper to extend the reach. I put mine right in the Center of my Handlbar Cover and the wireing for the Left Handlebar are right there so I did not have to add any more wires to the Beeper. Also If you find it to loud just take some tape and tape part of the top of the Beeper to muffle the Beeps. Alleyoop

Well, today I went to Radio Shack and got a Relay #275-248 to have my beeper STOP BEEPING when I have the Brakes on and waiting for the Light to Change. It gets a little Nerve Racking sitting there with the Thing BEEPING and BEEPING. I soldered the Wires onto the Relay with the Proper conections since I already have a Beeper installed and it was a piece of CAKE All I had to do is Find the Brake Live Wire when you pull the Brakes. It is a Light Green Wire on mine There are only Two wires coming from the Brake side and one is Light Green and the other is Dark Brown or Black. So I used the Probe and WHOLA it works great. I also mounted the Relay under my Handlebar Cover along with the Beeper. Thanks go to "THECABLEGUY" in his "Audible Turn Signal Alarm-with a twist" Thread. He also has a Diagram on how to wire the Relay and Beeper. Alleyoop

Great idea Alley, there's nothing more anoying than ridding behind someone that has their turn signal on. I have been the culprit too. Look down and see that your turn signal is on and you wonder how long it's been flashing. Oh crap, not again......
