borto1990 · 07-02-2009, 10:02 PM

am I an idiot or does this bike not have emergency flashers??? went on a lakeshore drive last weekend and the 2 lead bikes got nailed for speedin. while sitting on the side of the road waiting I got to lookin around and checked the manual and can't even find a spot about them.. hmmmm..

I was surprised to see they don't have any, unless I too am missing something, but I looked for them !!!

Then again they might only not have them on the red-black ones

They don't come with them , but on Gadgets sight there is a how to on installing a 4 way flasher.

borto1990 · 07-02-2009, 10:25 PM

that amazes me.. is this typical of bikes? I've only riden 2 but seems like that would be "standard".. interesting.. at least I know I'm not nuts!!!

**ringadingh** · 07-02-2009, 10:43 PM

I think there are a couple models that have them, but most don't. Ive had a pile of bikes over the years and none have ever had them on it. It would be a good feature to have though.

Of all the bikes that I've owned, the only one that had factory installed flashers was my Kawasaki Ninja 500! It's definitely not the one I would expect to have them!

I have never had them either, my wifes Virago has them and I thought that was strange....just what you are used to I guess. Would be a nice feature though.

I had them on my C-50. I always thought it was a good feature.

**Top Cat** · 07-03-2009, 01:48 PM

My buddy has them on his BMW. Of course he also has a heated seat, electrical adjustable windshield, cruse, hydraulic center stand, well, you get the idea.

All motorcycles with women on them should flash! Just a thought! For safety sake!

spirello · 07-03-2009, 02:42 PM

I added one to mine its really not that hard and handy as ever.

Just picked up a new '09 1700 yesterday. The hazard flashers are standard.
