nuns asked me to do it for the orphans. i swear. plus i plan to ride all year so i'll need all the spare electrical juice i can get when the weather turns cold. then there are those times when i want to pull over to the side of the interstate and burn a smoke. it would be nice to leave sue running and not draw a lot of attention to myself.

looking at the wiring diagrams, i can see one for-sure way to do it, and a couple of exotic possibilities. ideally, i want signals to work, but having the option of killing all lights has a certain appeal.

if they're going to call it a nightster, they should have added a light switch and kick start.

i dont know nothing bout smoked skunk, but if thats what you eat, more power to ya.

anyway, i pulled two fuses and found what i wanted to find. i'll pick up a switch tomorrow and hookerup this weekend. a three-way will give:

normal
all-off
blinkies-only

the only thing left is to figure out what to do about that stupid speedo light as its on a seperate circuit.
