Turnsignal reminder/beeper

ST1100:
Well, my '76 CB500K2 is supposed to have that (as the 550).

Is that thing instantly beeping when the indicators are switched on, or is there a delaying component present retarding the audible signal for like 90 or 120 seconds?

JamesH:
Instantly on and fu*king annoying.

wolfheze:
Yes its irritating but there's nowt worse than seeing someone ride off into the distance with an indicator flashing away. Did think about taking mine off but decided the noise is the lesser evil. Best system was the self cancelling indicators yamaha fitted on my late model RD 250 back in the day. Think they flashed for a certain distance travelled. Seems to be a few people that didn't like them but they worked fine for me. Due to a snapped tendon in my left thumb I find I it awkward to find the indicator switch and  when I'm riding my DRZ  am always double checking I've switched them off.

ST1100:
Well, I will then implement an electronic 120~180 sec delay (hidden in the headlight bowl), covering most traffic light phases, tripping only in cases of actual forgetfulness... (is it still a restoration with improvements installed?)

Bryanj:
UK dealers were asked to disconnect them as it was considered to be too similar to the noise given at Pelican crossings meaning it was safe to cross and so confused blind people
