Hi chaps, I have searched but no luck so far...
Bike is a 34L 1984...been in a barn for years and not loved at all...
Indicators on either left or right and they flash and so does the neutral indicator light.
Put on the lights and all ok..
Put on the lights And the indicators then the lights flash on and off opposite to the indicators flashing on and off...
Ive found a few bits of dodgy wiring and have tidied and cleaned various connections..
However I cannot solve this issue...
Any ideas??

Re: Lights and indicators
I would first check all the grounds (earths) i use that term in case you didn't know what ground meant. 
Do you have a wiring diagram? there is a colour one HERE (halfway down the page) right click on the link & "save as/save to" and that will download it to your PC.

Re: Lights and indicators
Many thanks for the wiring diagram link...
Yes I'm aware of earth and ground..
Its back to the drawing board....Ive missed something linking the two circuits..
You get a idea what I'm working with with these 2 images..
One has 5 earth leads soldered together, the other had 6 brown power leads screwed into a plastic connector..

Re: Lights and indicators
Fark!! 
I would just bin the lot, its obvious there is a major fault & every (ahem) auto electrician has had a bodge at it.
I did have a good look & found nothing for a 34L, but i did find something that may do the trick, check your PM`s.

Re: Lights and indicators
I recall seeing somewhere on the net someone making new looms for these but cant find it now. Might have been on FB. Will keep looking. I have repaired many a loom by totally removing and de taping the lot and replacing full wire runs. Need auto lug remover tools and replacement lugs to suit your plugs but they are easily cheaply available these days on ebay ali express etc

Re: Lights and indicators
I had a similar experience with my 34L.
Just take the loom off, cut off the insulation with a razor or Stanley blade. Using the wiring diagram get rid of the bodgery with new wires (of the correct colour) and new connectors.
It sounds far worse than it is to actually do.
