Is there an easy way to get all four turn signals flashing at once? Is it as simple as jumping two relays together?

Asking because I need to have 4-ways for an event that I'm involved with this weekend (motofef at a criterium).

TIA.

The 1125's have 4 way lights, but they only come on when the BAS is tripped.

Fingered it out... just jump the two blue turn signal leads together under the flyscreen.

I think I'll hardwire a toggle switch in there to have them on demand. Flip the switch, hit the turn signal and then you have 4-ways.

You'll need to add 2 diodes as well.

I've added 4-ways to both my XB's. It's not difficult, but takes some fooling around with a test light.

I'd like to use one of these:

#20 ATS-03 about 3/4 down the page.

Now if one of our electromechanical types would chime in with how to remove/disable the latching function on the stock switch, I'd consider this the perfect solution.

Toggle switch works as advertised.

One wire soldered to each blue wire for the R and L turn signals under the flyscreen going to either side of a toggle switch.

Toggle switch off: R and L signals function independently with the factory turn signal switch.

Toggle switch on: R and L signals flash together when you place the factory turn signal switch in either position.

Mission accomplished.

I splurged for a Kisan SignalMinder (SM-1). In addition to emergency flashers, it added: self canceling signals, running lights, & escort flashers (alternating left/right vs together in emergency)
