Hello DennisB

Would you be able to make up a headlight connector similar to your perfect connector with 2 foot long lengths of wire from all seven pins.

I catch myself driving with the turn signals on more than I care to admit and so I designed an audible turn signal minder. All the signals I need for the minder are available in that connector. I would like to build a prototype to make sure that it works OK in practice.

Thanks in advance.

I'd be very interested in learning how your project turns out. I also find myself forgetting to cancel the turn signal after a turn. Please post a follow-up report.

I should have guessed that with 8 billion people on this earth, it would be pretty hard to come up with an original idea. The circuit that I planned to use was going to do pretty much the same thing as the one that The Bern listed from a vendor in the U.K.

I was going to use DennisB's "perfect connector" so that you didn't have to alter the Silverwing wiring harness to install or remove it.

I will keep you posted on the progress.

Hi Ron,there is also a basic model without the timer,as you say it would be good to have a connector rather than cut the loom,so will most likely be back in this thread later in the year santa 
Well done on designing a circuit board Cool ,that is way beyond my capability

I too on occasion leave my turn signals on - definitely not good to do - but no more as I installed a Kisan SM-3 Turn Signal Minder ($110, Kisantech.com). It seems to meet my needs perfectly. You need to remove your front plastic to install this item. It has 3 wires - hot IN, ground IN, and the power wire OUT that replaces the hot line going to your turn signal switch (all of these accessible from the front of your bike. The way it works is as follows: when you switch your turn signal ON (left or right) the Kisan unit - which is supplying the power to your turn signals - starts counting - and after 20 'blinks' it turns the power to your turn signals OFF. I decided not to go the 'buzzer' route as I always wear hearing protection and felt that it might be too noisy around town and too quiet at freeway speeds.

I received two USPS Priority mail packages yesterday, 9/6. The Perfect Connector was in one of them. I ordered it on 8/31 so thanks Dennis for the quick turnaround over a holiday weekend (3 business days). The other package was from the vendor that I ordered the electronic components from.

I switched from the headlight connector to the perfect connector in the third iteration of the alarm design. The perfect connector has all the signals that I will need. It has tail light, brake light, left and right turn and ground in it. The latest design uses the brake light signal.  

My wife and I bought 13 gallons of exterior paint and we have some outdoor painting that we want to finish this week while the weather holds. Outdoor scraping and painting are probably my least favorite activities if for no other reason than they are done on days that are perfectly good riding days.

I will start on the first alarm prototype after the painting. I will keep everyone posted on progress with the alarm.

This may also be useful reference in your prototype design.
