I am tring to turn the running lights on the front of my bike into blinker lights.
I want it to blink on when the the normal blinker is off so it can stay on, untill I turn the signals on.

This is the current setup...

OK, this is trickier than it seems, the flasher unit pulses the power to the whole blinker circuit (both sides) on almost every vehicle (common to my 2 motorbikes and 2 cars). So for an alternate flashing pattern you are going to have to replace the existing flasher unit with a home made custom job with an extra inverted output, in logic circuits a half adder would do it but be overkill. Search the web for ATtiny or PIC microcontrollers and go from there. Bear in mind I'm biased towards software solutions because I'm very lazy about building circuits and a few lines of code is something I can throw together in a couple of minutes instead of a few hours for the hardware equivalent.

555 Flashing Indicators

By the way, good idea for making your bike more visible, my CT110 would have benefitted from that.
