At first when I saw your pics I posted that I did not think it would work. I had to edit because of ignorance. If my understanding is right, which it may not be , picture 11 would work with what moosehead has posted. Hopefully someone that knows will chime in THANKS

So you want #11 in the RealOEM image? I have that in front of me. Same deal. It was working when I took the bike apart.

You can use a standard Stant/Tridon flasher unit for car application as substitute but... There're about $5-7,00 at any auto parts place.

For earlier flasher relay having 4 terminals #49,49a, KBL and 31 you'll need a 3 terminal flasher unit...

Wire this up as follows (after putting new female lugs on wires)

New relay (3 prong type)

Terminal P = Blck/White wire - (goes to dash turn indicator) - old relay # KBL
Terminal L = Green/Yellow wire - (Load - to signal indicators) - old relay #49a
Termina X = Green/Black - (+12v) - old relay #49

The left over wire is old terminal #31 (ground) - don't need - just tape it off

For newer flasher relay having 3 terminals # 49, 49a and 31 - need 2 prong flasher relay

New flasher terminal ( 2 prong type)

One terminal - attach Green/Blck wire (old terminal #49 connection

Other terminal _ Green Yellow wire (old terminal #49a connection

NOTE: Doesn't matter which wire (Gr/BL or Gr/Y goes to first)

Left over wire from old flasher relay should be Brown (old terminal #31) - just tape off - not used

Hope this works - from my old notes - I used on both a 75 R75/6 (4 terminal flasher) and other on 82 RS (3terminal flasher)...good luck :D

This should work...but keep in mind tht these new flasher units don't indicate if you have a burned out bulb as the old flasher relays did but flashing at faster rate)...they just keep flashing in spite of 1 burned out bulb.. :o
This was very helpful. I should have done more research before I started buying relays. It turns out there are at least three different kinds of three prong flashers which have very similar if not the same pin configurations. I now have the PLX kind and will give that a try.

I was once a flasher. It happened just after we closed the shop for the day. The several hangers on and employees loved it.
