Would this be compatible with a 1980 gs550 it says Honda, Yamaha, and Kawi but not Suzuki. Looks to be the same connector end.

Hi,

That's a good find. (I just noticed that they're out of stock.) It seems like an electronic flasher that will work on LED and incandescent bulbs. However, the socket on the GS bikes are usually three-prong. You can fit a two-prong flasher in there but the pinouts have to be correct in order for the flasher to work. If it does work you will still lose the "auto-cancel" feature found stock on many GS bikes.

For reference, look just below the Stock Bulbs section of my little website.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Check your's I think you need the 3 prong flasher> Just go to Auto Zone or Anywhere for a flasher

Thanks for the quick replys, here is a picture of it, it is 2 prong.


I do not have the auto cancel option, could this be a factor?

Yes, that is definitely a factor.

All the bikes with self-cancelling flashers DO have 3-prong relays, I doubt that the others have more than 2.
