Check the flasher unit under the seat.  Has it become dislodged?

as a rule, if one side quits it could be a bulb or ground,
if all quit it's gotta be a power source....
Mr. Hill is right, check the flasher and source TO IT.

I had considered that...I may have a spare flasher unit from my '99 parts bike...I'll dig it out this weekend,and swap them out...may be it's just a loose connection to the flasher,anyway...thanks,Mike!

Check your battery for full charge?
