I am looking to do a turn signal integrator kit on my Falco, but I have a couple questions for anyone who cares to help.

I am wondering why the Aprilia needs the new flasher relay, my SV didn't need one when I integrated. If we do need it, where do we put it???

Also, I was hoping someone might have a wiring diagram of what the wiring is.

Any help would be appreciated on this one.

In the how to's section, under "turn signal eliminator for under $20" Pretty straight forward. Best O' Luck.

The flasher unit is up in front of your dash, the nose cone and headlamp unit must come off to get to it.

Weren't ya talking about integrating the rear turn signals?
In which case the flasher is in yer tailsection.

for the falco the flasher is in the rear, left side as you're on the bike.
turn the key on, hit the signal, and follow the ticking sound :)

buss sells some .99 cent flashers at walmart (heavy duty) I used one of those for awhile, but it actually flashed a little too slow, so I bought a 10 one from checker, it's much better. But you'll need to replace it due to the extra load from burning two extra bulbs.

Thank you for all the help, now if anyone wants to come over and do the work this weekend that would be great! :p

I truly appreciate the help everyone. I found the flasher relay in the tailsection last week and I will go get a new one this weekend.

it really is no sweat to do, I think I did mine in 15 minutes. Don't worry about it :)

Thanks for all the help, it went off without a hitch. Now all I need to do is get that HUGE stock fender bracket off.

I would like to post a photo of it but I am not sure how to do it.

if you'd like you can email it to me, and I can post it for you.

I removed the whole license bracket and repalced it with a slender piece of aluminum. You can't see anything but the plate from the rear. There is currently no light that shines down on the plate, but I've never been troubled by it. If I'm ever warned, I'll cut the light into the undertray.

I can snap a photo if you like.

I would love to see a photo of it. I was going to do something like that over the long weekend, it would be nice to have a tried and true guideline.

Thanks Aviator, I'll send a photo over to you.

I'm kind of an amateur at this. I hope this works. I didn't have time today to remove the plate. Sorry, I can do it tomorrow if you want to see it.

Okay, picture the angular brace which hangs down below the undertray and which the huge fender/plate holder attaches to. It has to holes in its bottom most plate. I took a piece of about eigth inch aluminum cut a little less wide than a bike plate and about 3 or 3.5 inches tall. I bent the aluminum so that when bolted to the undertray brace, it extended down below the brace just enough for the two lower licence plate bolts to attach to it. There are those silly reflector bolts in the top holes of my plate, but they are not atttached to anything. With any luck, pictures will appear below and this will make sense.
