(PO had plugged the wires for the auxiliary fuse box into the fuel tank and the fuel tank sender wire into the fuse box.  Then there was the ........

Self cancelling indicators.

Fitted to his bike was an after market 3 prong flasher can.

We put an OEM  (proven) flasher can from one of my bikes on.  It didn't self cancel.

We put the (proven) self cancelling relay from my bike on.  It didn't self cancel.
