While we are on the subject of flashers.... I just changed handlebars on my '92 Dyna. I had the wires running inside the old bars. I decided that was way too much trouble to do again, so I went back to external. Anyhow,, I got it all back together and everything electrical works, but I noticed my front signals alternate when in 4 way flash mode. I'm pretty sure they used to be in sync. The rear signals flash together. Did I get the 2 wires on one front signal reversed?

I have seen this happen before but on boat trailers and it was always a bad ground connection. Don't know if that helps, but there it is.

I think you nailed it. I just went to the garage and checked it again, and they are all in sync. After reading your post, I think when I ops checked the wiring, I didn't have the ground wire from the risers attached to the top tree.

Don't know about the dyna, but on the flst the ignition has to be on for them to work. Found this out when I ran out of gas. On the other hand, I feel more like a Harley rider now that I have had to push it a distance.

Is there not a reserve on the flst?

Fuel injected bikes don't have a reserve, only carbed models.

Seems like a step backwards to me but I guess it probably has to do with the fuel pump in the tank.
