The directional lights(right and left) cancel before making the turn. Because intersections are inherently dangerous for motorcyclists, I feel it's unsafe to look down at my display to check if the signal light is flashing. I'm concerned about being rear ended because the left turn signal is no longer flashing. I bought the Nightster in February 2022 and didn't start riding it until April/May 2022. The problem existed immediately. The dealer where I purchased the motorcycle has ridden this motorcycle and has confirmed the problem. I have written three letters to Harley-Davidson and no corrective action has been taken. H-D didn't respond to my third letter. The dealer told me that H-D "opened a case" about this issue. Nothing has come of it. I mentioned this problem on a Nightster blog and several (10-20?) Nightster owners responded with the same problem. My Nightster has not been inspected by H-D corporate, police, or insurance company; only the dealer has inspected it. I also own a 2018 Harley Heritage Classic 107 and its signal lights cancel after the turn as expected.
