'79SF -- Turn signal flashing is erratic.

Sometimes they blink very slowly, other times they come on but don't blink at all.

Also noticed that when they do blink, the green neutral light (when the bike is in neutral) dims with each blink.

Any suggestions about where to start looking?

Check the charging system. How old is the battery? If the battery is not up to par, your amps are not enough to power the flasher. Also check the connector's for corrosion.

A classic case of low voltage. gordo is correct, about checking out the charging system.
