ambeos i def feel your pain and wish you lived closer by, because i would def swing by and be a second pair of eyes and hands for you...
i'm thinking maybe you should try to replace the blinker flasher box with a cheap fleabay one if you come across one for the right price..
i assume you have replaced all your fuses out of the fuse box, after all they are pretty old..
ran down all the earth grounds on the bike and backed them out and applied some dielectric grease and tightened them back down!
also meticulously run through the rest of the harness for any other abnormalities..
i'll tell you though, if i had your problem it would drive me bananas, i have a type A personality and once something is on my mind i have no choice i have to figure it out and fix what ever it is.. it would litterey keep me up at nights until it was solved one way or another..
which brings me to, why dont you use some of that info i dug up and just put an electric box in and do away with the old stuff?
i also wanted to leave you with this, i just did the final adjustments on the viking mod i just installed on my 95 and i have to say holy cannoli, having done my sprockets and plus four degrees on the timing advance
and the viking mod has you drill 6-ten millimeter holes into my air box and installing 140 mains in my carb replacing 120's. this bike has never been so damn incredibly fast and smooth outrages power.. i can pull the front tire off the ground through the first three gears, no clutch , just gas and yet with supreme control bring the tire up and back down then right back up again.. my god just incredible..
i let a friend take it for a spin last and meanwhile he drives a newer R1 and when he got off the look on his face was priceless, i'm sure he's stilln scratching his head this morning..when he got off , he said his bike does not have that kind of power..
anyway theres a couple trricks to the mod, that i had to figure out and alot guys who try dont end up getting it right because they dont follow the install to the letter.. if your interested just let me know..

Just got finished painting the orange part on the rear wheel, ill post up some pics when i get both rims done.
And the spray chrome has finally cured now JC i think it took 4 days, not sure may have been to humid in the garage the A/C is still not working in there ive got a guy coming this week to fix it. Anyway i still think im going to clearcoat the chrome just to be safe.

well i tried clearing the spray chrome it instantly took away the chrome finish, so i have to rechrome one of the calipers now. But i did manage to chrome the rear caliper and bracket today along with painting the orange part of the rear rim i just need to polish the rest of it after paint completly cures, then do the same to the front rim. My REPSOL fairings should be in this week so i would like to get the swing arm and frame spray chromed before i install the new fairing. here is some pics
next is the swing arm and frame to be chromed soon as i figure out how to get the swing arm off safley and without the special socket.....lol

More chroming going on today The rear caliper and bracket are done and on the hanger is the swing arm, it has a couple spots here and there but i just put the 1st medium coat on i still have 2 more light coats to spray so i think it will cover and level out fine heres some pics
i know picture doesnt show it very well but swing arm is just as chrome as the other parts (crappy lighting in my garage)

got some more chroming and painting done tonight also got the swing arm and the exhaust installed on the bike now i put a couple scratches on it putting it on luckily its in places you can really see. Pics:
Next up is the frame, i did paint the front rim was just tired and forgot to get the pic of it ill post it later. I didnt chrome the rear subframe because its not visible when she has all of her clothes on and this spray chrome isnt the easiest thing to work with i may come back to it later on down the road.
