It looks like all you need is a warning light to tell you they are on, or to be able to see the actual indicator, so you can switch it off yourself.

yours, Pete.

I would like to know for sure, it would be nice to do away with all the stalks..

You DON'T need self cancelling indicators

anyway

I prefer to indicate with my fingers!

Cheers

Centre digit, right hand usually

Thats right,round and round in a tight circular motion,well according to our lass that is.

Agreed. My brother has a W*******d and their indicator is a switch on the dashboard. You click it on, and then you click it off. . ... manually . .. .

Been considering indicators myself. Have already ground off all the crap on the column as I can't bear to have anything looking like it was once on a sierra on my car.

However, I watched somebody use a dash mounted switch and its a bit of a pain, especially as I'm gonna be driving it to work in the summer so regularly using them in town.

Vehicle Wiring Products do a very simple long arm indicator switch that mounts onto the column which I'm probably gonna get - no Sierra bollocks, but column indicators - NOT self centering tho'.

thanks chaps i didn't want to use the sierra stalks, gonna mod a bike push to cancel button

dont quote me on this one but im sure that i have heard of self cancelling rocker switches for indicators. they have a 15 sec delay before they turn off. so you can have dash mounted with less hastle of having to remember to switch them off!! not to sure who makes them but i think its caterham / westfield = £`s !!!

You could look at Stafford Vehicle Components on

£35 + £3 P&P

"Self-cancelling clockwork indicator switch" found under "switches" on the left-hand bar.

I don't have the stalk with me (fnarr) but isn't it possible to cut the stalk at the base and reattach a better looking one.

Just a though, don't have many so I might as well share.


johnston - 5/2/03 at 10:01 PM

wot about fittin a wee delay thingy like you get in the interior lights on cars?????


JohnFol - 6/2/03 at 08:46 AM

You would then have to have a push button or a sprung switch to operate it. Not a problem, just a requirement

Viper,

Not sure how it works (could be flasher unit itself) but BMW's K series bikes are self cancel after about 200 yds. Basically push button and forget!

Might be worth a bit of investigation?
