I was coming home tonight and, on a left turn, noticed my rear blinker is out.  No big deal, I'll just pick up a bulb on my way home.  Then I made a right turn and noticed my right blinker is out as well.  Now, I know that both bulbs could, in theory, go out at the same time, but I kind of doubt it.

I just got this bike and have been devouring the messages on this board, so I figured someone on here would have an idea.

'97 Standard 43,000 miles.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Nope.  Just the rear.

Maybe the connector up under the rear fender has come loose. It's pretty hard to get your hands up in there without jacking up the bike.

I haven't done it myself, but how hard is it to pull the rear half of the rear fender, and just unplug/rep lug the wire into the connector?

Easy, remove the two rear bolts on the side of the fender and the smaller one on top near the seam of the two parts of the fender. Support the fender when removing the final bolt, then drop it down and you'll see the connector up under the forward half.

Thanks, guys.  It was just the connector.  Took off the rear fender and it was right there.  Really appreciate it.
