Hey folks. I just recently purchased an 84 FXRT, and one quirk that the salesman showed me was that the turn signal switches have to be held down for the turn signals to work - once you let up on the switch it turns off the signals. He said it was normal for a bike from this era, but I find that hard to believe. Was this standard configuration back then, or does it sound like an actual problem? What would be involved with repairing/upgrading the switch functionality? I'm not so concerned about upgrading to auto-cancelling signals, but holding down the switches while trying to slow down/start from a stop/make a turn is a real PITA - LOL. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
