I have seen several motorcycles that always have the amber/yellow turn singles on for safety reason or better visablity. Is there an easy way to hook up a 1986 spree to always run them? Or would this put too much strain on the electrical system.
Thanks,

Re: Turn Signals always on?
There could be a commercial means to accomplish this, but anyone can make their own.
I'd change to LED's and to a LED compatible flasher to lower power and extend lamp life.
Power wise, 4 OEM turn signals are over 90w peak (At or above the charge system max for most Honda 50cc scooters). The flash duty cycle cuts that to about half. At idle and slow cruise speeds, 45w average will be way above what the charge circuit can supply. Battery life will be reduced, if regular riding cannot replace the charge.

Design Goal:
- Flash turn signals when no Left/Right signal is selected
- Flash only the side selected when turn signal operation is selected
- Provide a means to turn on/off the Flashing when not desired
