I AM CONCERNED WITH THE OPERATION OF THE TURN SIGNALS ON THIS MOTORCYCLE. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE SIGNAL , SOMETIMES IT FLASHES 2 TIMES AND THEN SHUTS OFF , SOMETIMES IT IS 4 TIMES , AND SOMETIMES IT FLASHES ABOUT 20 TIMES AND THEN SHUTS OFF. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW LONG THEY WILL FLASH . A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS ALMOST I AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE SIGNAL TURNED OFF LONG BEFORE I GOT TO MY TURN. I THINK THESE TURN SIGNALS ARE DANGEROUS , BUT MY VICTORY DEALER SAYS THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY COMPUTER LOGIC? *TR
