| Dunno why hazard lights don't come standard on all motorcycles and scooters. I want to add hazard lights to my Swing but this is the closest I have found so far: http://www.kriss.com/hazardflasher.php but it's over US$100!!!
Anyone have an alternative that is cheaper? |

| Um... anyone wanna volunteer to rig that up? Once I see all those diagrams, I just blank out and my eyes start rolling around in circles. |

| This Gadget: https://www.kisantech.com/index.php?cat_id=4
Is also $100, but it features automatic turn signal cancellation and some other features as well.
Not less money, but more for your money.

| Hey Tony, see you're nearby to me. Did you install that self-canceling 4 way flasher from Kisan? How do you like it?
I don't really need self-canceling flashers. So far that DIY thing sounds the most promising: problem is I have no idea what a piezo or diode is and whatnot. Maybe one of my buddies might know how to do that sort of thing... |

| Hammy I'm leaving for a 3 day bike trip up north. When I get back I will look it over again and see if I can't put together somthing for you. Piezo=buzzer. Diode limits current to flow in one direction only. |

| Hammy I live about 20 Miles west of Philly But I was born and raised in Philly.Because my other bike has self cancel I was forgetting to cancel the turn signal on The Swing .When I tried to get self cancel for the Swing No can do. Because the Swing does not have a standard flasher as we know it, It is all one unit DennisB can explain it better. Maybe Paul can Make something that would work. So what I have done was hook up an Audible Alarm to remind me that the Turns are on. Tony |

| Should be standard on all bikes. Hopefully my next new will be so equipped at factory.
They are very handy.

| Both my previous Hondas (Deauville and Varadero) had four way hazard flashers as standard.. Why the SWing fell out of favour is a subject for conjecture, they have been mandatory on cars over in Europe for along time. |

| Now that is the very thing i missed about my Deauville 650. In place of the headlight switch was a hazard warning switch activating all flashers. I was really surprised it was not fitted to the Silverwing. Obviously Honda can fit such things,just makes you wonder why they don't. |
