Now, now TT. That's an LED lamp. Actually 4. So based on Confucius, it should take exactly 8.341874 members to iron this out. And another 2 to put out the fire I create from all this mess I started!

Scott, your dash has 4 leds, correct? One for oil pressure, one for high beam, one for right turn signal, and one for left.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

I guess the thing that has me confused at this point is that it seems to me, that the left signal (the one not triggering the idiot light) doesn't seem to hit the red wire from the idiot light at any time.

Any further ideas are much appreciated. Thanks for all your time folks.
Try running a jumper from this wire to the left idiot light.

That's what I ended up doing - which is still tied into the high beam as well.  Need to make it just a turn idicator - so I don't end up with the headlight dimming and brightening when I signal....or maybe that will get the attention of the cabs better :)

Thanks

You're welcome. Thanks again for the patch! Looking forward to reading about Godzilla's adventures in the big apple! ;D

Check out the entry on the rally page - posted it the other day.

Tomorrow is Billy Joel's shop for some photos of his collection. It's a decent ride on a day that is predicted to be 97 degrees, which is why I was hoping to nail this indicator cluster as quick as possible. No need to have the bike drop dead on the horror show that is the Long Island Expressway.

Hey, make the best of your time with the lizard. I wish I could have spent more time with him and the other riders!
