Steelo, Many people find the turn buzzer annoying and disconnect them. I prefer to have it functional rather than drive several miles with the turn signal flashing. The buzzer is way louder than the click of the flasher relay. But, if you have a noisy helmet and/or no windscreen, you still may not hear it above 60 MPH. I don't think it is nearly as loud as the backup alarms on the trucks I've heard. The choice is yours, of course. But, if you often find that you've been blinking for several miles, confusing other drivers of your intentions, it might be a good idea.
I have resurrected a non-functioning buzzer that came with one of my acquisitions. It has more "character" than all the rest of my bikes. Reminds me of a teen-age boy going through puberty. It's voice crackles unpredictably. I love all the strange looks it illicits from other drivers and pedestrians when waiting to make a turn. It's really kind of a pathetic voice, I suppose. But, I never forget to cancel the signal after the turn! :-) I think it's WAY less annoying than the hip-hop speakers on wheels. :-( Cheers, Lloyd SOHC4 #11 72 500, 74 550, 75 550K, 75 550F, 76 550F, 77 550F X2, 78 550K, 77 750F, 78 750F One of the Steels wrote: >I have just discovered one of these to the rear of the headlamp on my K7.
