    I did take a look at those I didn't see anything mentioned, but I just bit the bullet and ordered one, so I will try it out(hard wire) and post on it.

    basicly as long as you do not want the auto canceler to work its all good
    I was board figured i would put all the links together in one post

    there are some led flashers that have an adjustment knob to keep the flash rate

    I used that relay on my scooter (Zuma 125). One thing to note is that the OEM connector it comes with is not the same as the OEM connector that was in use in 1982, so it's not a direct fit for your XJ.

    Now, before you go spending money on nes turn signals, what have you done to ENSURE that you have ALL of the undone maintenance caught up on?
    Working tun signals won't keep you from having to walk home.

    From what I saw I was expecting that I would have to hard wire that connector up. So far what I have done was clean out the carbs, redone the front brakes(new master sylinder), compression check the engine, new oil and filter. Did a rough hook up of the headlight and instrument cluster. And that's the things I have done but there is more that I have to do. Bacisally I got a bike with a crate of parts. So it will end up being a complete over haul on the entire bike.
