Are the buzzers polarized? ie + and - wires. Try swapping the connections.

Yes they are as the wires are different colours but black tends to be -ve.
You can add them either to the mirror bases on an Evo, to the back of the fairing mounted SL front indicators or even the rear lights where the connectors sit above the battery for easy access. It should also be possible to fit them to the wiring plugs behind the digidash if you study the pin diagram in the manual. In fact if you make a Y splitter using 2 diodes, one buzzer could be used for both indicators. Probably the neatest solution of the lot.

Job done.I tried reversing polarity of the wires as suggested by bigears and it works fine.Strange though,the red is going to the black earth and the black is going to white live.Oh well it works.Thanks to all who posted advice.

Glad it worked. Don't assume any colour code in the wiring loom. Colours from bike to bike!
