Turn signal clicker

Post by Mike1nw »

2009 buddy 125
Are there LOUDER turn signal clickers?
I've been wearing a full face helmet, which blocks my view of the speedo face.
So I can't hear the thing, and now can't see the green led signals eadily.
I thought of jumpering the clicker, so i could relocate it to the front storage bin...

Get one of these for 10 bucks: https://www.ebay.com/itm/112987248456?h ... Swi7RZGc9v
Very easy to install. Wire the ground into either side positive brake lead. When you apply either brake, the beep will stop. I solder and seal with heat shrink. I have installed two of these. One on my Vespa and one on my C3.

I have DeeDee’s exact item on my maxi scooter and it works well. Wiring the ground to the brake light is key because you don’t really need it to beep when the brake is applied, and the sound is loud so it’s helpful to be able to mute it. The sound definitely attracts attention near intersections, which turns out to be helpful far more often than it is annoying. But it is sometimes annoying.

On my Vespa I wired a stuffed animal vibrator into the turn signal lights, with diodes so turning on one light doesn’t illuminate both left and right signals. I attached it underneath the seat with zip ties. When the turn signal is activated it pulses the nether regions unignorably. I call it the “Signal Sphinctz.”

But I’m considering adding DeeDee’s beeper to the setup too.

I find the stock clicker on the Buddy 50 to be quite adequate and the best OEM design of the three.
