Smart Turn System

Seems a lot of over-engineering just to overcome the need to push a button :

Seems a lot of over-engineering just to overcome the need to push a button :

I wouldn't call it over-engineering. It's just a little black box with some wires hanging out of it, and simple enough to install. There's some clever engineering in the black box but that doesn't concern us as end users. It's not the engineering complexity that puts me off, it's my riding habits.

If I only had one bike I might consider it. Owning several bikes, I could fit it to the bike I ride most often (the Jota) but then I'll come to rely on it and get out of the habit of cancelling indicators. I'd then need to buy a handful of the gadgets and fit them to all my bikes (6 of them at present). But what about when I ride someone else's bike?

I think I'll just keep using the indicator cancelling device that's wired into my brain.  It isn't 100% reliable but it has the advantage of being transferrable to any bike I ride.

For all they're down falls the K series Beemer did have a not bad system on it, had left indicator and cancel button on the left bar and right indicator and cancel on the right. Plus was timed and also had a bloody big and bright indicator light on the dash

It wasn't timed, it was based on distance travelled after you turned the indicators on which was about 90 metres IIRC. So if you turned the indicator on before the intersection even if you were stuck at the red light for a minute or 2 it would stay on until you got around the corner and completed the 90 metres. Great system, worked well! Also the cancel button was only on the right side, the equivalent button on the left side was the horn.
