I'd love to test one of these bobbers to see what they're like.

Pop into your local dealer and take a few out for a test! They are very accommodating.

Interestingly, I'm not sure how they actually work! They do actually cancel after you have leaned (even though the lean isn't that low!) They don't cancel on a specific time period if you are thinking they are timed - they are directly linked to the actual turn on the bike.


No idea how they actually do it, but nowadays it would probably be as cheap to do it with the indicators controlled using basic push switches, a microcontroller and digital compass as to use a more complicated mechanical mechanism for the switchgear and some means of measuring distance/lean - especially if the indicators are being used for something like a built-in alarm as well, so functions could be put together based on the same sensors and bulb/led drivers.

It's not that long ago that they were paying you £20 to take a test ride.
