    I have that exact one also, it was 3d printed. It works great if you can find one.

    It's not a design flaw. All my other bikes had same size, style, and shape. It's a standard size, used for decades. Now for some riders it's a bit of a problem to use. I understand that, rarely I have a problem. But Spyder will cancel signal after 30 seconds. My Honda won't cancel at all

    I try to do all the controls strictly from muscle memory to avoid distractions. Turn signal left or right is no problem, but cancelling the signal is a major PITA! Seems about 50% of the time its not 100% straight in and it breaks to one side or the other. This little add on could be a major help.

The issue is not having your thumb dead centre due to the narrow face, and therefore pressing ever so slightly off centre……very easy to do, especially when you have large hands. A wider front face would reduce that incidence..

    TC is clearly trying to comply with the rules of the Forum about not 'advertising' this product or selling it here without becoming an advertiser/sponsor.

    So as he's asked in the quote above, if you want more information, please send him a PM.

    Continuing to use the redesigned turn signal button or "blinker button" confirms one thing for me. BRP's lack of response to the feedback they were giving on this small item was a missed opportunity.

    It is very simple to remove the stock part, and snap on the new one. It could help if BRP heard from more riders. If you have one, what do you think?

    What I do to create more friction on the Turn Signal and the Cruise Control buttons is to add small pieces of 3M Indoor/Outdoor (aka Safey Walk) Tread.

    Installed blinker button today, Went super easy. And while not 'road tested' because too cold, expect it will be a good improvement. Contacted frogmandave on this forum for the item.

    Then LEARN how to do it. I have no problems with it. Having gotten used to the self canceling signals the Goldwing has (both after a turn and after a few hundred feet down the road) I have had to learn how the new bike works. Not all MC’s are the same. Harleys have signal switches on both sides and turn signal to turn right you use the right switch.

    Learn it

    I got one of these turn signal buttons. It arrived quickly and was an easy installation, just as advertised. It’s February in Wisconsin, so it’ll be a while before the button gets road tested, but it feels good in the garage. My guess is a lot of people will think this is a worthwhile upgrade.

    Ok, maybe you have been riding for years and have never had this problem, I never have either while riding a number of two wheelers. The design of the stock BRP blinker button has a small flat spot and angled sides making it an issue for a large, gloved hand like mine to execute a straight-in push. Maybe some have better muscle memory and get the job done without a second thought, great!

    I found a perfect solution for me, replace the stock part with a better design. One that allows a push that does not deflect to one side or another when all you want to do is cancel the turn signal. This is a very small and seemingly insignificant upgrade but for my wife and I who really enjoy our time riding, having fewer distractions provides a safer experience and is for us a worthwhile upgrade.

    The first photo shows the original part with a small area required for a straight-in push to cancel; any contact with this button that is slightly off-center triggers the turn signal, usually in the opposite direction, instead of turning it off.

    The second photo is of the replacement blinker button with a larger flat spot that is easy to find without taking my eyes off the road and cancels correctly every time.

    I suspect there are some who consider this trivial, but when your attention is diverted it needs to be for a good reason and only briefly, not for a design flaw. Let us know have you ever experienced this problem?


    For more information please send me a PM, Thanks





    TC, you were "SPOT ON" about this blinker button improvement, many thanks to you and Frogman Dave on this new found "Blinker Modification". Anyone with fumble fingers like mine should try out this simple add-on.

    Thanks, Bill

    Not a problem, I even got an extra one to give to my brother who also fumbles with the cancel part of the OEM switch!

    TC, I got this little mod last week. Went riding over the weekend and it has made a world of difference in both making the turn button easier to access (without having to look down to find it), as well as being able to reset the turn signal when it doesn't reset itself. This was especially difficult with heavy gloves, but even without gloves I was constantly hitting the button and sending the signal in the opposite direction. Thanks for the post! Every Spyder rider needs this.

    I got both buttons, like them both. No more blinker issues with incorrect results, and the shifter paddle is so much easier to shift.

    Got mine in the mail - both the indicator replacement button and the + shift paddle pad. Just maybe this coming weekend, I'll be able to get it off the wheel dollies and do some installs and the first shakedown ride of the year.
