i am not a fan of self canceling turn signals.
i bypassed the self cancel feature on my sportster.
Thats interesting, (you just know I'm going to ask) why

short answer , not calibrated well enough.
long answer..
to me the time the turn signal was on wasn't long enough.
i found many times that i pressed the turn signal and that it self cancelled before i actually turned.
the fix for the issue was to hold the signal button down longer before release or pay attention to when it turned off and turn it back on.
i almost always remember to cancel the turn signal after a turn no mater what cycle i am on.
most of the time i forget to cancel is if something breaks the normal flow (like paying attention to a car that might do something stupid)
on the CB i hit the turn signal cancel button as i am riding just in case.
on the sporty i will check the signal indicators to see if on, or hit right , left left. (that combo ensures the signals are off)
thats if you are referring to the turn signals.
if you are asking about the belt, then thats a different answer all together...

Ah, got it. I guess I've been fortunate. My Sportster is a 2013 and the turn signals have been flawless. When I apply them, they stay on until I turn the corner and cancel when the bike is in the upright position again. If I apply them, say getting on the freeway, they will stay on for about 1/2 mile and then cancel.
I can see where if they didn't work right it would be very irritating
