Default Signal light beeper

Picked up one of Glen's signal light beepers for my 1300 R. Installed it last night in less than 20 minutes and it does the trick.
My wife saw how it works and wants one for her Shadow Aero.
tks Glen

I took mine off this winter and you can have it if you PM me your address....it did the trick for me for a year and now I am better at turning them off.

I have been trying to program my brain to always remember to turn them off and it does not always work.
I am trying not to buy the Turn Signal Reminder but I think I am going to have to get one.
Maybe I have to do like gerdy1959, have one for one year so I can learn to turn them off.

I was certain I wasn't the only one who forgot to turn the darn thing off.

Installed mine last week. (Glen's VTX) Works like a charm.

I rode this past weekend and did not forget one time while hearing that darn beeping! Now the fellow riders tell me they can hear me riding behind them when we come up to a turn. It doesn't really beep that much, since it is off while the brake is on.

I would like at some point to do something better than the little splice connectors that came with it. Never have liked those type that cut through the wire insulation.

I got one from glen last summer. Even after forty years of motorcycling I still find myself driving down the road with the blinkers on. Glenn's beeper did the trick for me. I never forget to turn the darn things off.

I have had one for a couple of years and it works great, unfortunately Ive had to start wearing plugs, but those around me still love it.

Default Blinker Buddy

Never forget to turn your blinkers off again. With Blinker Buddy, there is no need to dangerously look down at a crucial moment to see if they are still on. Avoid getting hit by someone who thinks you are turning.

Blinker Buddy is easy to install, simple to use and works automatically with your existing turn signals, alerting you that the directional signal is active and reminds you to turn it off. It may save your life!

Lights a blinking and you're a winking. Some riders may leave the signals on all the time, getting good vibes.

I have Glen's turn signal beeper. Installation was easy, but it was a little too loud for me. I cut a piece of inner tube to insulate the beeper. I have the volume right where I want it and it works great. Thanks Glen!

I have had mine going on my third season. Now when I am going down the road I swear I hear it beeping. I have to look down and see if I forgot to turn it off. It is, then I think I can't see it. It does work, just to good. Thanks, Glen

This crowd is just too straight. They won't loosen up. I give up. I'm going to bed.

Default Great Little Safety Device, Too!!

This is a great little gadget!! Not only it is really useful for its original purpose as a reminder to shut off the turn signal, it is so loud I have warned drivers with the beeping noise when I think the person is about to do something stupid!! Deano on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

I've had Glen's signal for a couple of years and it's a great add on for all the reasons mentioned; it was easy to install, and when you're in a line of traffic the beep may make alert the cagers on their cell phones that you are there and intend to move. Don't know about the seat vibrator. It sounds a little too exciting for my tastes.

I made my own from Radio Shack parts. Also because I made my own, I can link the left and right together on the opposite side of the diodes, install a switch on the handlebars and have emergency 4-ways.

Doesn't matter how great you and the bike look, It's hard to look cool with your turn signal on.

Has anyone installed the signalminder? Found it on Biker Highway web site, looks like it would be nice to have- one of the few things I like about Harley's is the fact the turn signals go off automatically plus this gives you the ability to have 4 way flashers. Thanks for your opinion.

Thumbs up Best Ever

Everything from ordering to installing was best I've ever dealt with a online purchase. Good Quality and price of product, packing, super fast shipping, instructions with good pictures ( had It installed in a jiffy and it worked)
This beeper is a must for me and may just save my life!
Thank You, I'm so glad I found you guys great doing business with you.

Very happy customer
Brian
