Universal Turn Signal Flasher Relay

Work as I should in my 1984 honda nighthawk 650. Solved my blinker issues for half the cost of the factory unit.

I bought this solid-state flasher to replace the thermal flasher on my motorcycle so I could convert the rear turn signals to a run/stop/turn system without having the signals fast-flash. (I used a  Hopkins 48845 12" Tail Light Converter  for the actual r/s/t conversion.) This relay is a "universal" system, so I figured I would have to splice into the bike's wiring to install it. But, to my surprise, the plug that comes with the flasher uses the same three-wire plug as the thermal flasher that was originally on my 1997 Honda Shadow VLX. So, it was a direct plug-and-play installation. I didn't have to alter the wiring on the bike in any way. The new unit fits where the old rectangular flasher relay was, and the rubber mount holds it securely in place on the existing mounting tab. The instructions were easy to understand, and overall, the installation was a breeze, only taking about five minutes. The new flasher unit works like it's supposed to, and my modified turn signals don't fast-flash any more. I couldn't be happier. Since this unit is solid-state and not load dependent like a thermal relay, it should flash your turn signals properly whether you're adding signal circuit load with an r/s/t conversion (like me), or you're reducing the signal circuit load with an LED conversion.

The product is truly an electronic solid state device. The cover is transparent plastic and a small circuit board with attached electronic components can be seen. As can be seen in the vendor's photo it will directly plug in for many applications, for those that don't clear instructions are provided and a small wiring harness and a polymer mounting band. I bench tested this device and it worked very well.So why did I bench test it ? I did so to confirm that it was not defective. Why did I suspect it might be defective. It did not work for my positive ground (positive earth for you Brits) '74 Norton Commando.This appears to be a good product BUT DO NOT BUY IT FOR POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS -- OLD BRITISH CARS OR MOTORCYCLES.

Great turn signal flasher. Bought this to replace a bad thermal/mechanical flasher on my bike. Works with original rear turn signals and new LED front turn signals.UPDATE: 5/10/21 after about 6 years this relay died. Just went to get the bike out this year and no turn signals. Tracked it down to the relay and looking for a new one now.

Works perfect as a replacement for mechanical relay on '83 Honda Shadow VT500C. I would recommend using the rubber mounting sleeve from your old mechanical relay as opposed to the one included. The one included faces the wires either inside or out and there isn't room for the door to fit on securely. The factory sleeve faces left/right and is a little loose but if you slide it back over the bigger edge part of new relay it works fine.

I'm using this with LED lights, a fresh 12v battery and the flash rate is 20 per minute, which is insanely slow. With another set of LED lights (older style LED, not newer/cree style) the flashing rate is normal.

i installed turn signals on my rhino and this set up helped to make it possible turne out great...now i have turn signals for when i go to town..its legal here to drive on the street and county roads..

Amazing product, cables and other hookups were of good quality, easy to use, nicely explained.In the future all I have to do is buy a new universal flasher instead of a motorcycle specific one.This product saved me money, and hassle for an older motorcycle flasher I could find.
