Flashers ???? Empty Flashers ????

Post by VULCANRIDER Thu Nov 29, 2012 9:13 pm

I saw a couple Harley's today that had flashers on them. I don't have a Harley rather a Vulcan 800.
I was wondering how can I make my signals turn into flashers ? I liked the idea and thought would be great to use during times got caught in fog, rain, group ride (parades) and just because i feel like it, lol.
So has anyone else done this and what exactly would I need to do ? I want the option to use them as flasher or as regular blinkers. So I know I would have to add a separate switch.

Thanks

I'm not sure how it's done, but if I hold down both of my turn signals, I have activated my flashers. I turn them off by the same means. It's kinda cool and has been handy at times.

They make aftermarket kits. Do a Google search.

most of the non factory ones I have seen involve adding a rocker switch and upgraded relay to the existing harness to use the current lights.

the other option is to add a second set of front and rear amber led light strips, and add a relay/switch as well.

add four way lights for 5 bucks....

a quick read reveals, that you might be able to just order a new handlebar switch for your bike's European equivalent... replace that and it should work
