87810km

I fixed the blinkers =D

It was quite easy, when it came down to it... Unfortunately this was a "spur of the moment" thing, so I actually FORGOT to take pictures, save for once.

Inside the housing for the back light and blinker wireing there was plenty of faulty connections. There were three cable leading to each of the two back bulbs, and on one of them one of these were mounted on all three wires:

These power thieves were mounted but the wires attached were cut but not insulated... I stripped the wires and attached proper cable shoes, and hoped that remedied the problem. Alas! it did not =(

After some more fault searching I realised that the problem most likely was grounding.

I found common ground (pun intended) for the wireing in the back, and went to work:

These two were the culprits.. Or rather: the ground they were connected to. the cables disappeared into the bowels of the bike, so I made a new ground connection, and voilá! I have working blinkers =D
