I have PIAA lights and they are turned on with an autoswitch which is connected to the grey cancellation switch on the right side handlebar. Problem is that the PIAA lights will turn on and off but the grey cancellation will not cancel the turn signals. What am I to do. Help!!!!!!!!!!

First I'd suggest telling us what model/year K bike you have. They aren't all the same.
And I'd look at where the AutoSwitch was spliced into the wiring for the cancel button. If it was done using a ScotchLok(tm) connector - you've probably been bitten by the ScotchLok's propensity for destroying wiring, and it has likely severed the wire going from the switch to the rest of the harness. Remove ScotchLok - and do a proper splice with either crimp connectors (if you have a GOOD tool - not the $3.99 one) or solder/shrink-wrap (if you know how - otherwise find someone who does.)

After taking Don's advice, I checked the scotch connector and sure enough, it had cut one of the wires. It was the small one so the signalling was not cancelling out.
I soldered the wires together and put a wrap over it. Easy fix and no money involved. thanks again, Don.
