What's the difference between the round unit on the 78 - 80 and the square unit on the 81?

I believe the 4 way is on a separate flasher under the seat like the 80.Greg

Electrically, there shouldn't be any difference. Same lamps so it's the same load. You might check to make sure the terminals are in the same places...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Thanks Steve. I just didn't want to plug it in on my SG and fry something.
The terminals look the same. I guess I'll plug it in and see what happens.

Yeah, thanks Pete. I needed that input.
Hey, it seems to me I owed you some money for something but I don't recall what or how much. BTW, what would it take to get a setup like you put on Harry's bike for the air forks.Greg

Flasher's
I have 1980'sg .Two flasher units on bike..And I would like to replace them can never find one with 3 prong.Are they not available.And is one for blinkers.and one for four ways?.And what years if any did these bikes have self canceling turn signals.(confused) 😕1980xs1100.sg Pacifica Fairing ..stock.

The one up under the seat is for the 4 way/emergency flashers. That one is just a regular 2 prong automotive flasher. I replaced mine with an electronic one from O'Reillys.
The 3 prong unit under the right cover is unique. The 3rd prong works with the self canceling unit up under the seat. Self canceling blinkers were on all years of XS and XJ. The 3 prong unit is still available but a bit pricey.
Flasher unit is #8. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/searc...L+2/parts.htmlGreg

There is an alternative to the special factory flasher....

This will convert the circuit so you can use a standard automotive flasher and still retain the auto-shutoff feature.Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
