self-cancelling turn signals

[Bdog]

I have a 2015 standard "B". I want to modify the turn signals to be self-cancelling. I'm sure someone here will know how difficult or easy it would be. Tried to search it but couldn't find a direct answer. THANKS

I like to figure out how to "disable" the self cancelling feature. They frequently will turn off before I want them to.

Sometimes it is a real pain having them turn off before you want them to. I have got in the habit of "reactivating" them but also found out that if your on the brakes or have the clutch pulled they don't turn off.

Thanks, did not realize that.

Not sure where you got that information.....but at least on my '15 Deluxe, the position of the clutch and either brake lever have no affect of any sort on my self-canceling turn signals. They still shut off as per the manual.

HOWEVER, (with only one exception) every bike I have owned (with model years of 1978 and later) all have had self-canceling turn signals. Yamaha, for example, has made them standard equipment ever since the 1977 XS750. I was absolutely floored when the dealer told me that a Goldwing (....a GOLDWING!!!!! ) only had them as a model upgrade. And....that went as well for a centre stand. (I thought the fellow was pulling my leg. Even the 1940 Indian Four and the 1959 Matchless G80 which my late father left me BOTH had centre stands...as did EVERY bike I've ever owned since my first in 1970. That it is now only as an upgrade says more about Honda than I think they want it to.)

Anyway....with each later year, the self-canceling system has gotten incrementally better...but they are still, even today, not perfect. One thing that has stayed consistent is that, with each press of the turn signal lever, the canceling system is reset. So, I have just gotten into the habit of hitting the turn signal as early as I like.....and then hitting it again about halfway to the turn. The system continues to flash...and the cutoff timers reset and therefore the flasher lasts all the way through the turn.

That's what my dealer told me too, but they're not. 2013 standard

Have your dealer find out why they are not working right. As far as I know its been standard equipment since at least 2001 and maybe long before on the 1500 series. The "sensor" that signals them to cancel is under the front end in the bottom of the triple tree, maybe its unplugged? Do they turn off if you just ride straight for a distance? They have a counter built in that shuts them off after 200 feet I think?

That's where I was going to go.
