Turn Signal Flasher

Post by simmons1 »

The turn signal flasher on my Buffalo doesn't blink most of the time at idle. I was going to replace it with a two prong replacement. However looking at the actual flasher it looks like this instead of having prongs.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GT750- ... 1021074714" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Any idea what would make a good replacement flasher?

I could a little harness two hook a up a two prong one two the existing wires if it would work ok.

Thanks!

I got one of the cheapie plastic ones off ebay. Actually I got 5 as they were so cheap. They are adjustable and seem fine. I've given 3 away and they still work ok. I had one go pop, but had a bad earth connection and a few bulbs went pop at the same time, so I think they're ok. Make sure you don't get the ones for led bulbs unless you have those. Look for '2 pin standard flasher relays'.

I can use one of those ok even though I currently have a wired one with no prongs?
