Man!!

Thanks guys. I did read about the indicator light on the panel, but for some reason I thought this was for a newer bike, like a 00 or 01.

Ok so I think I will pull the bulb out and see if that works. That is the simplest way. And I don't even pay attention to that indicator light anyways. I like looking at my new LED blinkers and can tell when they are on.

I'll let you know.

Thanks again

UPDATE:

I still have not taken out the Dashboard.

1. When I use the turn signal, all 4 blink. They blink in a nice even and regular pattern. Not super fast
2. The Turn signal light in the Dashboard DOES NOT blink.

I plan to take the Dashboard out and disable the Turn Indicator wire as suggested
Whats the best way? Do I have to take the whole assembly out> Or does the top pop off easily? Like if I needed to change a bulb.

I still have the windscreen on so I guess I'll have to take that all apart.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The resistors Oberon sends with its indicators are 25W 6.8ohm

I had a similar problem. Solution: install an electric flasher bought at Pep Boys Auto. I then cut and capped the wire leading to the dash signal indicator light. Fast/weird blink solved.

I am revisiting this issue...  Can you tell me what wire leads to the Dash Indicator Light? Also, is there proper way to remove the Dash Panel? I still have the factory windscreen on the bike.

To recap:  I ordered an LED Blinker switch and installed it along with 4 LED blinkers. When I operate the signals, all 4 blink nice and steady like hazard lights.

Thanks
