Backwards controls???

That safe turn system looks pretty neat...at least per their advertising copy! I think it would be a good thing to have. Might have to purchase on when I get back to the US mid-March.

In my case the front signal lights are flush mounted on the outside of the fairing, so I cant see if I haven't canceled the signal. My saving grace is that I have an ammeter wired into the headlight who's needle visibly pulses when a directional is on. Sometimes I do glance down and there it is pulsing away... I look at the switch and sure enough I'm riding around with a directional flashing on and off. It doesn't happen a lot between my good riding habits and the ammeter needle pulsing as a reminder.

Yes, leaving them on can be a real concern esp in urban situations. My first bike (2013 T100 Bonneville) I fitted with a automatic signal canceler (Kisan SignalMinder) and it has no doubt saved my butt numerous times. Has a settable delay (10-30 sec) and the shut-off is prevented while the brake light is on (so while at a traffic light waiting to turn etc). Thinking to research if positive earth is compatible with it. There is a new option (though at 2x the price) call Safe Turn System (https://safer-turn.com/product/smart-turn-system/) using accelerometers/motion detectors/gyros to determine when your finished your turn etc.

Kisan Sales tech said that SignalMinder won't work with positive ground.

Curious. There's only one "power" connection on the unit I fitted to the Bonne....to the negative ground. Other connections goes to the flasher unit...which is a simple two-line connector...so it ends up as an in-line connection (not polarity driven I'd assume). If the ground wire is fed to the negative battery post, might just work. will try it one day.
The other product I see them listing...is a timed inline fuse (10 amp) here: https://kisantech.com/10apf.html
This goes in the line to the flasher....so it controls how long the flasher gets powered...and can be set for 10-30 seconds. That should work on positive earth.

Another product- Traffic Light Changer. Never had turn signals until last year with new '73 commando; maybe just have to get used to them. Took a while to figure out why the yellow indicator light was flashing. The Green Light switch looks like a good deal.

Is the light changer just a big magnet to place underside of bike, activating road sensors?

Says its a permanent magnet; works on bicycles too. If u put it toward the rear wheel, will it pick up nuts & screws that fall off?
