self-cancelling turn signals

[glryder98]

2013 did not have self cancelling turn signals. your 2015 does indeed have them. If you want to disable them you will have to get down to the top triple tree nut. In the center of that tube is a rubber plug with a wire coming out of it. Trace that wire back into the wiring harness and you will find a plug disconnect that plug and the self cancellers will not work, but the turn signals will.

In 2015 the Self Cancelling Turn Signals were only provided on the Deluxe Model, not the Standard.

That could be I guess but the Honda parts site shows all models of the GL1800 in 2013 having the cancelling switch, unless it's a generic picture. I can't argue it as I don't have one to look at...........

Cruise Control, Self Cancelling Turn Signals, Adjustable Windscreen, Center Stand, Heated Grips, Passenger Backrest and Reverse Gear are just a few things cut from the Full Wing to make the F6B.
Some of them (like the Turn Signals, Heated Grips, Passenger Backrest and a Center Stand) return to you by purchasing the "Deluxe" option. Go figure.

The 2013 F6B that I rode for a day had the Self Cancelling Turn Signals... Love 'em.
Don't understand why they are not standard on every bike since their creation decades ago.
It's a safety concern in my book.

Same applies to ABS, which is mandatory pretty much everywhere in the world, except the US. So American Honda chooses to omit this important safety feature to cut costs. It's almost like someone installing cheaper Takata airbags in a car. Oh wait ...

Yup, I recently discovered that the same F6B in Canada has ABS standard.
Whats up with that?

Every GoldWing also comes standard with ABS in Japan, Australia, all over Europe and everywhere else, except the USA, AFAIK. American Honda is penny-wise and pound-foolish, especially in a country as saturated (contaminated?) with personal injury lawyers. One death or disability blamed on criminal negligence due to the absence of ABS on a 900-lb motorcycle and all of American Honda's gains will be wiped out.

I really did consider importing an F6B from Canada, just for the ABS – the best bike, made even better! But it's probably very paperwork-intensive in California, if Sacramento will even allow it. If someone wants a new 2017 F6B though, it looks like Canada will now be the only option.
