Mirror Mount Installation Instructions
1.
Turn the motorcycle ignition to off and disconnect the battery for safety.
2.
Remove body panels as required to gain access to the front turn signal wiring harnesses. This will enable routing of the Blinksafe Indicator Assembly wire and the Wiring Harness wires. The motorcycle's front turn signal wiring harnesses will be connected to the left and right turn signal lamp wires.
3.
Identify the positive (+) wire and negative (-) or ground wire in the front turn signal wiring harnesses near the left and right turn signal lamps. Label with masking tape if needed. Consult your dealer, repair manual, or repair shop for assistance if needed.

4.

Identify a desired location for the Blinksafe Indicator Assembly either on the mirrors or on the mirror struts. An ideal location is one where the Blinksafe Indicator Assembly will be in your peripheral field of view when you are watching the road ahead of you. The Blinksafe Indicator Assembly lamps should be aimed toward your eyes to ensure visibility while riding during the day.


5.

Split the conductors of the Blinksafe Indicator Assembly wires and strip about ½" of the insulation. The silver colored wire is the positive (+) wire and the copper colored wire is the negative (-) wire.

Note: The Blinksafe Indicator Assembly wires are long enough to fit most motorcycles. If your motorcycle requires longer wires contact us via email at info@blinksafe.com.


6.

Remove a short section of insulation from the left front turn signal wiring harness positive (+) and negative (-) wires. Splice the stripped back wires of the Blinksafe Indicator Assembly wires to the bare section of the turn signal wiring harness wires. Solder the splice for a more permanent connection.


7.
Repeat step 6 with the right front turn signal wiring harness.

8.
Wrap the splices with electrical tape.

9.
Reconnect the battery and turn the motorcycle ignition to on to supply power to the turn signals.
10.
Test the Blinksafe Indicators by turning on the Left Turn Signal. The Blinksafe Indicator on your left mirror should flash in unison with the left turn signal lamp. Repeat with the Right Turn Signal to check the Blinksafe Indicator mounted to your right mirror.
11.
Once the Blinksafe Indicators are connected and working, temporarily mount the indicators to your mirrors or mirror struts and aim the lamps toward your eyes when you are in the riding position on your motorcycle. Turn on your turn signals to make sure you can see the lamps when you focus on the road ahead.
12.
After confirming a good mounting location, apply one of the adhesive backed Velcro pads to the mounting location on your bike and apply the other to the back of the Blinksafe Indicator. The Velcro pads are sized to completely cover the back of the Blinksafe Indicator. It is most important that the Velcro pad covers the rounded back side of the Blinksafe Indicator to allow you to adjust the aim of the indicator lamps. During bright days the indicator lamps should be aimed directly toward your eyes. At night you may want to aim the lamps away from your eyes slightly to lessen the intensity of the lamps. You may trim the Velcro pads as needed or desired.
14.
The Blinksafe Indicator wire may be formed or folded to follow the contour of your fairing or motorcycle body panels. If you wish to secure the wire permanently, apply clear silicone adhesive or caulking to attach the wire to your motorcycle.
