Are any of you having problems with the rear turn signals after your fender chop? The last few rides, my left rear signal has been failing during the ride. Failure meaning lights are not flashing, which usually means a bulb is burned out. Bulbs are fine and it's not the flasher, since the same flasher is used for both the right and left turn signals.

Each time this occurs, I remove the seat and jiggle the connector for the left side. The signal starts working. It did it again today, so I checked the voltage at the bulb....zero.. Removed the seat and jiggled the connector...it worked. Tug on the wire, it continued to work. Jiggle the wires, it quit working. It has something to do with the connector!

I am real close to replacing the connectors with a connector like the Battery Tender uses. Anyone else had this problem?

Thoughts?
