    I've just fitted a pair of apehangers to my '09 springer and moved the blinkers from up near the hand controls and mounted them on either side of the headlight on the rigid fork legs. My problem is, when i turn either blinker on, the front ones don't work. I pulled both front globes out and checked them with a test light and the test light flashed on both sides. When i put the globes back in they wouldn't flash. I'm pretty sure it's an earth problem, but i'm not sure how to fix it???? Any help would be great........

    Yeah, i put a brand new bulbs in each one and still no go. I reckon it could be an earth problem inside the blinker itself but i don't really wanna try and pull it apart in case i trash it. It's a standard blinker and it doesn't really look like it wants to come apart. I've been pretty good at pulling things apart in the past and wrecking 'em.haha.

    Are they new or the originals ?
    Pull them off and test them on a battery or a charger.

    They're originals . I'll give 'em a go on the battery and see what happens.
