I have a 1973 Shovelhead Harley, which I have recently restored with new wiring and hand controls.
The left and right turn indicator switches are momentary contact (meaning I have to keep pressing the switch WHILE I am cornering....a major pain.) Each switch has a wire going to a flasher can and a wire going to a dash light.
I have seen a bike similar to mine where the momentary contact switch "triggers" the flashing of the indicators, and a second press turns them off again. I asked how it was done and was told that it involved a proprietary Harley "little box" and $300!
Is it possible to achieve this with common electronic parts. How much techno-savvy does one need to do it?
Any help would be appreciated.
