So that thingy does both the tink... tink.... tink and the the BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ?

No, it's the little aluminum can back behind the battery that does the tinking.

I guess I didn't catch what bike you're referring to, but on the earlier '550s it sits in this square hole, facing the rider:



For an idea as to how it sounds, picture the most annoying short-duration noise you can think of, then imagine it repeating itself over and over again as you sit in the middle of a sweltering traffic jam. Imagine drivers in neighboring cars starting to stare at you as you sit there with the sweat pouring down your back; and kids start crying and one little girl starts screaming "Momma, Momma! What's that awful noise!?!?... and her mother, already driven half berserk by the din and the heat, turns around to smack the little freak and her foot slips off the brake onto the accelerator, sending her Hummer careening into a utility pole that collapses onto a gasoline truck refilling the tanks at a neighborhood Piggly-Wiggly; with the resulting fireball traveling three city blocks up the sewer system where it ignites and explodes a hidden pocket of natural gas that decimates an entire strip mall and sends a thirteen-story insurance building rocketing 1,473 feet into the sky before crashing back down to earth in the middle of a poodle farm.

Do you really want to risk the carnage just because you can't remember to turn off a simple switch? 

I'm not saying this particular thing will happen to you, but you never know...

This is the main reason most folks just disconnect and toss it. No kidding.

 

[Really?]

I left it on and it does sound like a truck backing up.  I think it is kinda kewl actually.  It is different.  Would I put one on a bike that did not have one, no.

  ;DOh my god... I think i just peed myself a little.......

I think it wires to the turn signal indicator light. The wire colors should match up. And to those who are winker beeper haters, I hooked one up in the music room for a metronome. seriously, when I ride the bike that doesn't have one my brother is always riding up telling me to turn off my signals.

A little sillieness is way better than what goes on on some sites.

This is a lighthearted thread but unless a person remembers to turn off his directionals ever time he's playing russan roulette with his life. Does that car ahead that's ready to pull out in front of you think he's ok to go because you have your directional on to pull in to where he's leaving? I think I would rather hook mine up to air horns before I took it off completely.

Here's a guy that's selling his bike on ebay now that couldn't confuse other drivers more if he was trying. His directionals are on when he's not turning and off when he is. He's probably saving his life by selling it.

A little unknown secret (at least 750's) by most folks is say for instance you are beeping away at a stop light and you want to keep your blinker on but stop the noise,what you do is simply move the turn indicator switch about 1/2 way back towards middle on the handle and the buzzer will stop but the blinker will continue.No more weird stares from people. Play with it a little and you will get the hang of it,I do it all the time

Man, that's funny, I don't care who you are!   

seriously, when I ride the bike that doesn't have one my brother is always riding up telling me to turn off my signals.

I don't use the buzzer, I just turn off the dammed switch after I make my turn. It's so simple anyone can do it. I have to wonde what happens when you say your allways forgetting to shut it off? Do you turn it on then start thinking about the ball game or what? Are you thinking about the fact that your riding a motorcycle, or about what you're having for dinner? Because, forgive me, but if you're on a bike in traffic and your mind isn't concentrating on what your doing, then you're an accident waiting to happen IMO.
