SM-3


DETAILS
  Most Hondas & Kawasaki, Suzuki models. With 3-pin (|||) plug. $109.95 
signalMinder
BE SURE! Do you forget to turn off the signals once in a while? It may be embarassing when you realize it, but also quite unsafe in the traffic.

signalMinder stops the flashing automatically. In most cases, you simply replace the flasher on your motorcycle.

signalMinder is a solid-state turn signal flasher with a built-in programmable time-out feature. Selectable time-outs range from 10 seconds to 30 seconds. At the end of the selected time-out, the flashing stops.

Built-in options such as Running Light Conversion, allows you to convert all the turn signals to running lights. More importantly, it also converts a single handlebar switch equipped bikes into a dual channel system. And that gives you 4-Way emergency or Escort mode flash. And if you hook-up the brake input, you can get the brake flash feature with built-in override when stopped in traffic.

signalMinder Notes
■ Automatic turn signal cancellation
■ Running light option built-in
■ Brake flash and override option built-in

This new version has all of the
RUN/TURN/BRAKE features - BUILT-IN!

No need to buy another controller!

Does it actually kill the switch or just not let power through anymore.

I don't know for sure, but have heard that one type of these are a pain in the butt if you don't do something after you turn on the signal and before the next need of the signal.

Ya might want to do some research on the net on this.

If it works exactly like you say, it is in my opinion, another set of electricals to fail.

If ya can't remember to turn off your signals, then don't buy a pingle that has to be shut off after every stop.

I think R.J.'s answer to your question is, "No."   2funny

I've used one in the past and I may get one or more for the bikes I have now.  They work.  The one I had didn't reset the lever, so you'd need to press it to cancel before using the directional again.  That's no big deal.

The real benefit is in the extra flashing brake lights and running lights.

They're good quality.  I think you'll like it.

The resetting of the lever was what I was referring to.
