Any good turnsignal mod? Mounting points?

[keand3]

I'm still trying to figure out how i could expect to wire a new relay. I have identified the turn signal cables from the switch on the handlebar.
Basically it's 4 wires as seen below. In addition to that i guess a relay would need a power feed and a ground wire, that makes it  6 wires.

yellow w/red line: indicator feed
Brown: left indicator
Dark green: right indicator
pink brown'ish w/white line: cancel indicator

Would this mean I would need to consider a 6pin flasher relay instead? Just a thought :-)

No matter which relay i end up with, i see to ways of wiring.
1. Wire up the the relay directly from the switch, and by that i mean detach them from the harness. Letting them go directly and not route through the block connectors etc.

2. Letting them travel the old way in the harness, and detach the wires needed from the oem connector block which goes in the oem relay.
Any thoughts?

I think i have mange to identify the wires going in to the flasher relay and it looks to me those wires that are "extra" due to the self-cancelling feature could be completely removed from the harness. I have started writing it down so a write-up may be made.

I will get a better idea on how to properly go forward when i get som more info on the flasher relay diagram.
Thanks Greg,  for helping out 

Converting to  a regular 3 pin shouldn't be that hard. Will need to do some soldering on other wires next weekend before i can start experiment with the relay.

Update..
Got my new cbr mirrors with integrated led blinkers in to day..
Well, they do look good but I'm not sure they will work that well. I just tried them on without the fairing and the result disappointed me. The seemed to have a shaft just a long as my other cbr mirrors, but no. They are slightly different.

I tried to fit them to stock mirror plates and that angle seemed odd,  but that was without the monkey made mirrorplate or any other thing making a increased angle.
So i sure could use some input and suggestions to other ways around it. Stock mirror isen't an option, so ill guess i finally would have to grind down the oneside of the stock mirrorplate to make the cbr mirrors fit well.

I would revisit my original thought with the barend blinkers... But those are some what expensive, and my plan on anti vibration barend would need to be scraped.

Revived my led flasher relay today and thought i would take a closer look at the old one.
I figured out pretty fast that the bike wouldn't start with out the relay connected. Although there were power to lights etc.

I can't shoe the life of me figure out which circut that was broken to cause this. One would think it was only the blinkers that would go out?

     On the mirrors, I don't know if this will help but the FJ AL. mirror mount casting can be installed 2 different ways.  If you look at the 2 mounting holes in the FJ AL. mirror mount casting you might notice that there is a long and a short leg.  On mine the shorter leg is facing down.  I had the same problem with mine until I figured out the hole distances from the center of the FJ mirror mount casting were slightly different.

Thanks George.
I will look at it.  Haven't thought of that before
