Aftermarket blinkers '72 CL350

[Randy Bobandy]

Hey everyone, thanks for viewing my post.

So I got this bike not long ago and the blinkers come on, but don't blink. I'm planning to change the blinkers tomorrow, but wanted to ask about this issue before I get into it. I know it's probably a problem with the relay, and the fact that I'm using led as opposed to a bulb. I picked up a 552 flasher, thinking I could use it to fix the problem.

My question is if and how should I use the new flasher to replace the old relay, or is there a different way to solve this problem?

Thanks again.

New relay is the way to go if you've swapped to LEDs. I doubt a 552 will work though. I'm pretty sure that's a thermal one and not an electronic "no load" flasher. We sell the kind you need from our website for $8.

Could you link me to the part? And all I have to do is replace the old relay with this new one?

Sort of. You usually need to remove the turn signal indicator light from the dash or hook up some diode if you want to keep it.
