Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech How to Keep Turn Signals Lit

Hi Everyone,

I've seen bikes where the directionals are always lit. Is there a way to do this on the Triumph to add visibility?

Also, what is the consensus on adding the front light bar? An investment in safety or for show only?

Yes you can do that but you need to either change the socket inside your blinkers or put new ones on so you have dual filament bulbs. Wire the brighter filament to the indiwinkers and the duller filament to the lights. If you do it this way they will always be on or you could add a switch to the circuit so you can turn them on and off when you want.

I don't know about the turn signals, but the light bar defnitely makes you more visible to others, always a good thing.

Kisan Signalminder , turns the blinkers off and has a running light option that lets all indicators run at a lower wattage . You'll just have to get red or clear rear lenses or you'll be all yellow at night .

Signalminder can also be programmed to make turn signals and brake light flash 3 times before going on bright and steady, can also cancel signals when left on! V. good product - also can set up warning mode flashing all around.

The signal minder is the best way to go.

Or (if ya want to get original with it) an old school yellow dash strobe mounted to the top of your helmet. That will get some attention.

They sell a little box at the auto parts for trailer lights to get more than one function out of a single filament bulb. I bought one, but got rid of the bike before I tried it. I think it was only 5 or 6 bucks.
