    Yamaha XS Left Hand Switchgear onto GS

    A picture says a thousand words - if you have one of these to fit, you can work it out.

    An update:
    It works well enough, with normal turn signals functioning fine, but the auto-cancel doesn't work - I expected it wouldn't. The Suzuki control module needs a 12V feed (in the pic that's the lightgreen/blue wire that's piggy-backed into the ignition controlled feed); normally that's energised by the second tier of switch within the Suzuki switchgear, but the Yamaha has only a single switching tier (L, R, Cancel).
    I intend to explore taking the turn signal commands via a pair of diodes to a latching relay, thence feed the lightgreen/blue to the control module and re-instate the self-cancelling.
    The Suzuki control module is still functioning fine, so may as well get the use of it for now.
    I found I quickly got back into the habit of checking and cancelling, as I used to do back when nothing was automatic, but I've come to like the auto-cancelling over the years, so would prefer to have it back in place.
    However, at least this current installation shows that basic turn signals will function perfectly well with the Yamaha switch, and if the Suzuki controller craps out, I can simply fall back to manual cancel (and install a timer to over-ride the signalling).

      Jeez Grimly, I struggled to get one wired up to an XS1100! (different variants and all that)
