On my '82 Vision, the self-canceling turn signal was a timer with a movement trigger. That is, it would turn off after a few seconds if the bike was moving, but stay on all the time if the bike was stopped. I tore it apart to figure out how it worked. It was quite clever. There was a regular delay relay, using a thermal material, like a toaster (I think, it was a black box). The movement sensor was a magnetic reed switch in the speedo that would close when the speedo was turning. Pretty clever.
