I share your views on the directional indicators.. my fix was installing a beeper .. it works pretty cool.. it beeps when the directional is on, but is silenced when you use either brake .. like waiting for a light to change.. then when to take off from the light and release the brake, the beeper will start to sound again, reminding you to turn off the directional..when the beeper is silenced, the directional is still working.. you can buy it as a kit for about $15. if I remember.. the beeper is pretty loud, but I found installing it on the handlebar worked the best for me..

coming from a goldwing, I dressed my little CB to accommodate my wants and needs.. I don't know if you are a naked guy or need more stuff.. this pic shows how I fixed mine up.. if this stuff is to your liking, just let me know and I will explain what did in more detail..

Hey Chuckk - Thanks for the input. My regular ride is a '99 Valkyrie Interstate - that has all the bells & whistles I ever need for long distance riding. This CB1100 is going to fill a few other roles for me - commuter, day tripper, and an option for my son to use (just got his license this year). Not looking to do any serious mods on this one, but will be opening up the cluster just to see what Honda stuck in there for turn signal indicator lighting. Hoping a bulb swap will improve this...
