Indicator relays

Mine gave up the ghost just as I was giving the bike the once over for MOT. I had a spare but, whilst it works, there is a delay from selecting winker, to the first flash of about 2 seconds. I had one on my rotary that had some electronic gubbins inside and it wasn't so dependant on having a good 12volts. I had to empty the water out of it after I mounted it "pins up", but once dry it worked fine again, (pins down)

Try Vehicle Wiring Products. They have a good selection of stuff but their p&p charges are a bit steep

Paul Goff sells a reasonable flasher unit - I think it's a Honda part - for about £4. It still has the delay between selecting the indicator and the flash starting but it seems to be more robust than the Lucas version. Paul can be found at most autojumbles and he also has a website.

I use this one

Thanks to John Holmes earlier post I ordered a replacement flasher unit from AES as recommended. It cost £8 and arrived in 48 hours. It works wonderfully! I didn't want the buzzer option so simply utilised 2 of the 3 available terminals for my existing wiring. I can't remember the indicators on my Commando ever being so reliable. Mind you the test has only run for 200 miles so far.....

Mine has been working for a few years, its electronic not hot cable so if the voltage drops the flash rate is unchanged, now that all my bulbs other than the flasher bulbs are LED this is no longer a problem but before with the Lucas version if I was waiting at traffic lights with the flashers on ticking over with the headlamp on the flashing slowed and then just stayed on. Next scheme is to going for a timed on, so the flashing stops after a set number of seconds in case I forget to turn them off, the buzzer cannot be heard above the wind noise on overtakes.
