Tues Signal Canceller

[Sunnyorlando]

Having replaced my Goldwing of 15yrs with the FJR, I was so used to not dealing with the turn signals - yes, a bit spoiled.
So now after a about a year and half i decided to try an aftermarket canceller. I decided on the ST2.
Well, after just a few miles of testing, I have to say that it's nice to have that back. The unit works great, even on lane changes with about 90% accuracy - it's based on the angle change back and forth as you switch lanes. It only does not respond is it's a smooth and gradual lane change - no big deal. It's 100% accurate on turns and roundabouts.

Just sharing
Nice farkle to have added...

I like the one one my FJR also.

I still like following Niehart and watching his directional signals blink for mile after mile. I'm trying to learn that technique.

My lane changes tend to be so gradual it never seems to sense them. Turns that aren't really turns, just diagonals. don't always cancel them either. But they'll go off after moving several seconds anyway, so even if the turn or lane change is so gradual it doesn't work, I still don't ride another 25 miles with the signal flashing

But you have to be moving. If you activate the signal then stop at a stop light for 30 seconds they'll keep flashing. Then when you start moving again, the clock starts again, and they'll cancel -- turn or not -- after several seconds.

Well, on not moving it makes sense since stop to turn at a controlled intersection usually takes a minute or longer. So that's intentional.

Which one does your FJR have?

Of course. It's a clever design. I've tried to fool it on turns by turning from a stop real slow and as straight up and down as possible, and I can't. Basically, it seems to work wherever my car or truck would -- on turns too shallow for it to sense the turn. But, then, my car would still be blinking miles later.

I installed mine in 2016 with the supplied connectors. No problems so far. Wonderful unit!
