Hi guys, I am a new Blackbird owner checking in for the first time, and need some insight into this new(to me) bike. It's a 97 with 20k miles and it runs great and everything works except, the right front turn signal wont come on in the run mode. The light blinks when the signal is activated then goes out when the signal is canceled. I have replaced the bulb and still no running light, any help would be great!! Also the horn honks when you hit a hard bump! Not sure what that is about, but none of these little probs can keep me off of this Awesome machine!!!!! Thanks in advance Paul | ||

Agreed, or does it bling too fast? The turn signals are not self cancelling. Replace the horn b/c it isn't loud enough. Try www.nippynorman I think. That's where I got mine.

| From down the street! Sounds like you have some corrosion problems. Sprey some WD40 around your horn button and inside your light sockets. Also make sure you have the right bulb,

G'day from Oz. Indicator sounds like it may be a faulty flasher can. (light will come on but wont flash???). Horn may be a problem with the switch.

Sounds like you have a short or a loose connection. The WD40 is a great idea but it does not last forever. Check your connections at the horn, light and the board. Hello from West Michigan. |
