Self Cancelling Indicator System

I used the USB wire under the seat - it's switched and I'll never use that one for USB. I ran the extension cable into the headlamp housing - the right and left wires are exposed there - and connected with Positaps. And yes, the rubber inserts are critical. Finally realized it converts the switch from on/off to a momentary switch, i,e. push right to turn the right indicator on and again to turn it off. Pushing straight in on the switch, as you originally did to cancel, does nothing after the mod. Takes a bit of getting used to. Finally, I attached the module to the side of the battery box with a small piece of industrial velcro so I can easily remove it if needed. Oh, and the wiring colors for Triumph in the instructions are wrong on later model Bonnevilles. A wiring diagram for your bike helps. This is all for a '17 Bonnie so may be slightly different for other models.

 

Are you asking about the extension cable? I bought it from A&J here in the States but believe it was made by STS. I didn't see anywhere on my Bonnie to mount the module around the radiator but you could also zip-tie it to the frame under the tank. Put far enough forward you might not need the extension, Make sure as stated earlier to mount it with the arrow pointing forward. Seems the cable exits the module from the wrong side.

 

I didn't have those German instructions but they would have saved me a lot of time searching the wiring diagrams. It is correct for the T100 as well. I don't know German but you can pretty much follow the photos and they mount the module without need of an extension cable. Not sure where they drew the 12v from but again the usb would work fine. It doesn't use much power so 18 gauge wire would probably work well. I used 16 gauge only because I had some on hand.

 

I was instructed (by Mark at STS) that you can punch a small hole in the middle of the foam to help with this - Not sure where you live, but I had the same issue (November install in the Northeast). However, since it is so cold in the Northeast, decided to wait until Summer before doing this. Heat/cold will greatly affect the durometer of these foam disks. Also, if the foam disks are too soft they might allow the signal switch to latch.

 

I finished my install and I'm working on super detailed instructions that will show step-by-step how I installed this on my 2016 T120. My install is completely hidden inside the bike and required a 36" extension. I used the power feed off the USB (yellow wire under the seat). Most of the connections are hidden behind the plastic plate in the headlight. Not a super easy install if you want it done right and also want it to be hidden.

 

That sounds exactly like I installed mine. Wish I had your detailed instructions - they will be invaluable for those doing so in the future. Don't expect there would be any significant differences with the T100 and most other Triumphs with a single headlight.

 

Many months past since last msg re self cancelling. I have recently bought a kit and also decided I need to extend the wiring . Any further help from you all who have completed will be very welcome .

 

Harley manage to fit them standard, why cant Triumph get their act together its not 1987

 

Standard on the Tiger but I don't use them in case I get used to it as the Bonnie doesn't have them.

 

Think I'll send this to my pals who went to Belgium with me earlier this month. Every time I looked in the mirror, one or more of them, had left an indicator on after turning. It looked like I was being followed by a road repair crew there were so many flashing amber lights.

 

I am so glad to read this as a noobie on a bike.

Last weekend I followed my friend in her car to a nice little terrace somewhere outside Lyon. Suddenly she pulls over... I'm like 'What's wrong?'
And she says, 'I was gonna ask you, cause your indicator was on, and we thought something was wrong'

 oopsie...

Happens to me all the time. Maybe I'll get myself this STS

 

Get a Harley dyna glide , they have self cancelling indicators fitted at the factory lol

 

Don't you think it's a bit cumbersome. And expensive as well. To buy a Harley, remove the self cancelling indicators of it, and than assemble them to my Bonnie. How would I make them fit anyway?
