850 T

[commander]

Help, I have a 1975 850 T, the previous owner put the turn indicators taped on top of the gauges, i don't see a factory location ?
Is there one ? thanks.

The T-3 bezel has NO turn indicators panels built in for seeing which is flashing or still on.  A dash console for V35, V50, V50 II, 850 T3 California, 850T4.  would have them and should fit std t-3 location

You should be able to see the front signals flashing, no dash indicator needed.

Nice T there, Turin..

Neither the 850-T nor the early 850-T3 dashes had turn signal indicators. Later T3 and others did.

I completely miss the fact that my indicator has been flashing away for miles, and I know I'm not the only guilty one.
Another option is one of the small Piezo buzzers connected with a pair of diodes

Sooner or later you wonder what's that annoying noise

I need to mount a pair of those in my helmet

I have a more sophisticated device but similar to this
https://kisantech.com/mag/signalminder/10apf.html from Kisan on my R1150RT.  I am very happy with it, and am considering this 10apf on my pre computer bikes.

Sorry, neither of those are mine.

I have a March 1975 T-3 LAPD which I would think is an early T-3 and it has indicators (maybe because of having the big one piece police dash?) problem is you can only see the indicators in the dark, kind of redundant then. :roll eyes:

  change the std bulbs for LED bulbs at www.superbrightleds .com Bright 24/7 when on the bike. . Match color of lens when purchase them and didnt put one in charge light if I remember correctly

You'd think with the signals right in front of you, it'd be obvious they're flashing. But, in fact, that's not the case most times during the day.

Here's how I handled it on my 77T3. There is an almost useless Low Fluid indicator for the rear master cylinder in the dash.

The lead to that bulb comes from the lid of the master cylinder behind the right sidecover. A few inches away is the flasher unit. I just added a lead from the output of the flasher to the Low Fluid lead at the master cylinder.

It works perfectly telling me when the flashers are on. If the brake fluid goes low, then the light will come on solid and I'll know that's what it is, because it's not flashing.

Thinking outside the box - brilliant

You can add an LED for the charge light just add a resistor in parallel something like a 47 Ohm 1 Watt should do it.
Actually I think anything between 22 and 100 Ohms should do.

My civilian T3 had the usual, smaller dash, without turn signal indicators. My original T3 owners manual has a photo of just that dash. I replaced it with a newer version that has indicators but is otherwise virtually identical. I think it was NOS from a Monza, but was told at Motorcycle International that it was also fitted to T3's, later ones, I presume.

How about using a 194 LED wired between the two sides.
These lamps are non Polarized and pretty bright
The current will run from the active side through the LED and be grounded through the non active side
The LED would draw about 10 milliamps, not enough to power the non active incandescent lamps.
