One oddity, which would probably happen no matter how you do it, with the bike on, all four flash when activated, with the bike off, only the rear two flash, but I think that has to do with the front signals also being running lights, at least on my scoot.

I would go with Glenn just for the fact of using a tried and true product instead of just hacking your wiring.

glen,

is that correct, only the rear two are on when the ignition switch is off? if i want to get it so that all 4 blink with the ignition switch off is it possible? if not, why.

thanks,

The design is to have all four flashers working. What year and model bike does Football Bill have?

Hey Glen,

Will your flasher work with LEDs in the turn signals sockets? Is this a digital flasher unit or one that needs to see current? The reason I ask is I am planning to change my front and rear turn signals (and add running lights) with LEDs using the OEM sockets and wiring loom.

My flashers need current. 2 blub minimum.

Enjoy your ride.

It is an 06 VTX1800F. Only variation from the directions I did was to splice and solder the wires instead of using the wire clips. All four flash when the key is in the "on" position, but when I turn the bike off and engage the flashers, only the rear two flash. That works for me, but just wanted to point it out, I bought the 4 way for runs, if I ever am on the side of the road, at least the rear two facing oncoming traffic will be working.
