    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I cant seem to be able to identify this part. I read about a CDI but it looks much different than this. Any help would of course be most apreciated

The little black box with tape around it might be ?? :confused:

It looks like some type of relay. Perhaps for the turn signal?
 
Take the tape off and look for a part #. If no one else chimes in with the answer, I'll look at my bike tonight and see if I can help. Should be the same on the "T"
 
Definitely a relay, definitely not stock. Follow the wires to see where they go.

And please remove "CDI" from your GS vocabulary, our bikes don't have one.

Looks like a flasher alright. One that has been taped to the original bracket because the original rubber mount has gone or didn't fit the replacement unit.
 
I will respectfully suggest that it's NOT a flasher. Some flasher units are cylindrical, others are rectangular. This one is rather square and has a tab going up one side for mounting. Very typical of a Bosch-type relay. Most of the rectangular flashers used on a GS have a rubber sleeve with a slot in it that slides over a tab on the frame.
