Topic: Turn signal buzzers

[Ozzybud]

My 1975 CB550K I bought a few years ago has a turn signal buzzer. Super loud and kind of annoying. My 750F1 has one but it only works sometimes.

Does anyone have a list of what bikes/ years that came with the buzzers?

I think buzzers only lasted from '73 to '75 or '76.
I'm pretty sure they were only on the fours.
Yeah super annoying, I unplugged the ones on my bikes.

 When my F1's beeper started sounding like a choked parakeet I knew it needed the battery charged.

All of my 750 K8 and 750 F2 (also 78') had the buzzers as well.

I want one.
A good warning,because I forget to turn off the switch sometimes while scanning traffic.

We were asked to disconnect them in uk as the buzzer sounded like the beeper at pedestrian crossings and confused blind people

Make it useful by having it connected to a 'sidestand out' switch.

My 77 came with a signal light beeper but it did not work. I gutted it and put in a piezo device from an electronics dealer. If I do not want to hear the beeper I select the in between position on the selector switch so only the turn lights flash. It's a blast from the past sound that I can take or leave at my discretion.

Tru dat... They are very voltage sensitive....

I plug 'em in from time to time, just to mess with non-Honda riding buddies.

I have a bin of them. Mounted then to our old golf cart and side X side so the grand children (and adults too) don’t back up over each other without warning! As soon as anything gets put in reverse, they wail.

The 1972 CB 750 K2 was unique. In addition to a turn signal buzzer, it had a button to silence it. I believe it is the only year and model that had this feature. I use it all the time

On my K4, I can move the switch over slightly and the beep will stop but signal stays on.

I stuffed mine in the headlight shell but then it quit working.

Is that similar to the Europe delivered bikes with the P/A switch?   
What was that for?

 My 78 GL1000 has a loud clicker below 40 mph and a beeper over 40 mph. I like it. I'd put the loud clicker on my 750's if it was easy enough. I suspect there is a truck flasher that does that but never found one.

[bryanj]

The PA switch did the same as headlamp flasher on a car

My US 1978 model (manuf 11/77) 550K has one. I connected it up for originality when I put it back together. Ahhhh...disconnected it within the first week!

+1!

Theturn signal buzzer was the first thing I did to my '76 750.  Removed it after about 50 miles of riding.  It sat in my toolboxfor decades.  Never missed it.  However, after restoring my bike and being 40+ years older, kind of wish I had it, as after a turn, sometimes I forget to cancel the turn signal.  I feel kind of stupid going down the road after a turn and realizing I forgot to turn the thing off.  I guess there is a great thing about getting older..........There ia always the excuse........I'm old.

You know you are off bad when you leave the damn thing hooked up but still forget to cancel your turn signal. lol

One of my riding buddies just got a new bike with self cancelling turn signals. Probably one of the truly useful innovations. Nothing worse than spotting a bike going straight through an intersection with a turnsignal flashing….. Makes me shudder.

[Little_Phil]

My 1986 XJ600 had self cancelling indicators. Worked off the speedo cable with a reed switch I think. Worked well if you forgot to cancel yourself.

Hey guys, Stupid question. I have a 75 550-4, How do I disconnect the turn signal beepers. Those things are very annoying to me.

[bryanj]

Follow the two wires into the headlamp shell and disconnect them
