Hi, I'm new here. I just got my first Harley after several Jap bikes. A '97 Stortster Custom. Very clean, only 7800 miles and I've only had it 2 days. Rode it 3 times. Tonight the darn turn signals quite working. Ooops! The manual only says those are controleed by a microprocessor. Silly me, I thought it could be something simple like a fuse. I tried cutting it off, hopeing something would re-set. I'm an electronic tech so I'm not afraid of it but I don't have a proper service manual and don't want to mess with it without one. Anyone had this problem and can steer me in the right direction? Thanks, Martin

Without a workshop maunual/wiring diagram I wouldn't go near the electrics if I were you. Why not contact your nearest HD dealership or go on line and request the required drawing/instructions, could maybe save you a *FILTERED WORD* -load of grief in the long run esp if you go 'fiddling' under the seat and cock it up. best of luck. xx sprag --

I would check online for the info you need. Sporties are very fast (one of the original race bikes), and lay down nicely around the curves. I did add a stage I screaming eagle kit to mine this year. I've also added nearly 40,000 miles to her in the two years since I bought her. Have fun! Ride safe and good luck! -- I really like this site. Hope that we can be friends. Come and visit me on my website if you would like. I have over 65,000 photos, mpegs, free and pay. I am a true blue biker with almost 150,000 miles on my ass in the last 8 years. I ride my own Spor

Plenty of used ones around but you will need the exact one so check out the part number on it....it will be 5 numbers followed by a - then the year it was introduced ...ie 45350-95. About �50 second hand ..3 times the price new ! --
