Title: wink two eyes
Post by wambr on 01/23/13 at 01:00:53

actually the idea to make an alarm on the savage.. to be somewhere on the road identify themselves in that case (God forbid of course). well, or give a sign in the road traffic jams... guys, someone has already done something similar?
while my head was formed - connect mini-rocker switch to turn signals through a separate fuse...

Hey Wambr if you mean an alarm like a siren to use while riding that's totally not legal for us here in the USA :-/

If you mean "emergency flashers" - my 2007 model already has them built in. Not sure if the early models had them, or what the Euro versions have.

I already used them one night when a sport bike was broken down next to the middle island in a left turn lane on a busy road. The sport bike has some crappy tail light that was LED's and not very visible and people came up on the bike and didn't see it. I pulled up behind them and pot my flashers on - and it made the situation much safer. I am buiding a Cafe conversion - and I am going to use good turn signals for this safety concern....I want be be visible and safe.

My c50 came with passing lights. Most people disassemble the switch and wire their garage door openers to it.

Someone here said they use them all the time before changing lanes.

Yes, of course I meant the emergency flashers... on my savage 95 there is no such lights on, but this is a quite useful thing... the alarm siren in Russia, too, violates the law..

I love the title of this thread. I've always heard them called 4-way flashers, but when you think about a signal light being called a 'blinker' then, wink two eyes just makes sense. It gave me a good chuckle.

In New Zealand, they're called "hazard"lights

Around here they're called "Wait-a-minute lights". As in, "Quit blowin' yer d**m horn at me! I got my wait-a-minute lights on!"
