Love that color! As far as signals go...make sure that the little connections inside the sockets are not missing or broken, that will cause the issues you are experiencing.

Just the little brass nubs in the bottom of the signal light sockets.

These bikes have way too many connections, so any number of them can drop the available voltage and render the blinkers to no blink. Try running checking the voltage and see if you have 12 volts to them.

thanks will do......

1. i have right side marker/turn signals "ALWAYS ON"
2. i have the left side markers "always off"
3. right signals drop with right turn activation however not blinking
4. if the engine is revved and the left signal is activated "sometimes steady blinker action.

conclusion: will check connections with voltage meter. also, idk if the lights should always be on as the headlight, or always off.
