There is yet another aftermarket self canceller called SDS, made in the EU.
It's quite expensive, about $200 cdn. As near as I can figure, it works on a combination of timing and accelerometers. People seem thrilled with it just after initial install, but after listening to a long term review it seems to have a serious flaw.
If the bike makes a very gentle turn, for example at a Y, it often does not cancel on completing the turn. If the lean amount is not sufficient the sensors don't pick it up.
Then eventually the signals time out, but in the interim bad things could occur.
I think I'll stay with the SD unit for future installs. It has always done exactly what it is supposed to, no surprises. For a Y turn like that, a quick press and seven flashes, which is perfect.
