Steve. I found a local upholstery shop in Tucson. For $50. They redid mine with commercial truck materials.

My 1976 Yamaha XS500 had self-cancelling indicators that used time and distance as a reference. IIRC it was about 20 seconds, do not recall the distance, but probably around 300 yards.

I liked Harley's later system that also used the lean angle sensor to cancel as soon as the bike tipped over to one side and then back upright.

Pinch a sheet of alfoil from the missus and fold that under the drain plug to direct the oil flow. I never had an issue draining the CARC.

Cool, I didn't know that about them. Page 39 of the OM.



Sounds like it works on the same logic as the old HD signals (minus the lean angle input).

Time and distance was a Harley thing for a decade or two.

The rear brake on my V7 850 is also pretty wimpy, though switching to aftermarket sintered pads was a slight improvement.
There's a reason many countries have graduated licensing for motorcycles, and require combined braking or ABS especially on the lower displacement learner bikes.
