    I just want the guts out of the plastic case while leaving the case intact and undamaged..I plan on throwing the guts and mother board away and placing the 2 flasher units inside and making "look" OEM. I dont care if they are self cancelling or not.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Chuck,
      I just had a look at the box of the 1980 one I removed the insides from and it is definitely quite flexible. It does not use a mounting rubber, the mounting is part of the box.
      If yours is the same, try prying the casing from the epoxy filled block with a flat blade screw driver.

            You can use a standard load dependent 2 pin 12V automotive flasher if using front and rear bulbs of 21 W each or a 3 pin electronic type (which requires an additional ground wire) and is not load dependent and can run either 10W or 21 W bulbs.

              Mine has the fastening which is normally a separate rubber piece moulded on the back and it just clips over the metal clip on the battery box.

              If I push on that plastic mounting its feels flexible like Tupperware and is not ABS plastic. It comes loose from something sticking to it like plaster of paris will loosen from a tupperware dish after it dried and you flex the plastic, sort of like a mold. Is the plastic on yours very rigid or sort of flexible like say a Tupperware box?

                It seems quite hard..like ABS. I may try to use a fillet knife to cut around the leading edges of the sealer stuff and see if it releases anything

                  I would be using the stock flashers for now. I found these locally. Would they work?

                    No that is just a standard automotive relay.
                    You want a standard generic automotive flasher relay replacement from your Napa or Federal Mogul Autozone stores

                      Reviving an old thread. Still working on resurrecting my GS1000s. Look like the TSCU is dead for the left signal.

                      If I do the twin flasher trick listed in post 21 and 48 of this thread, do I need the original flasher under the left side cover at all?

                      Thanks
