RE: black box

[Andrew Riley <AndrewR@ahsl.co.nz>]

ah - sounds like my ducati - an italian electrical nightmare, it originally
used a relay for flashing the headlight at high speeds to tell traffic to
get out your way, i used two three pong relays, one for the indicators, and
the other for the blinker unit, so it should be a matter of re routing wires
to that switch, might be more a of a hassle than it's worth if they work
intermittently and just need a tidy up - but mine is a 65 and doesn't have
hazard lights, but honestly all the notchs ive every dealt with have been
early ones - so....

cheers
