Cool post em up brother. I need to figure out how many wires per switch and what diameter so I know what wire to buy. Then figure out where to move them...or the other way around. Lol.

Lemme get around to posted the pics. I'm on my phone right meow. It's easy. The switches are 15 amp. I did on/off for high/low beam, a momentary switch to start it. Elimated the horn (that requires another momentary switch but the store was all out). I eliminated the kill switch. Will post pics soon but I'm busy playing borderlands 2 on xbox hahahaha

Ight Ight. Post em when you can. Id like to keep the horn but I guess I could bypass the off/kill switch. Would like to see how you did that.

Ok, Mikey - this is where I put them. Right in the web of the frame by the down tubes. Keep this in mind, I wasn't running blinkers, so they will require on/off duck bill switches, but don't forget... in PA you don't need them, so keep that on the back burner....



There's not a lot of room in there, so be ready for other possibilities. It was hard just cramming those 2 in there.

This is the high/low beam. it's a 15 amp on/off toggle. this is how I wired it...






Here is the start button


I didn't have blinkers, so that eliminates 2 on/off toggles. The horn will be a momentary switch as well if you want one. Like I said, the store only had 1 so I used it for the start button. The kill switch is easy, wire it to a 2-way toggle or eliminate it by simply soldering the 2 wires together. I don't see the point in a kill switch, but others may.

Hope this helps a little. All the holes are 5/8" drill bit. You can see the colored wires and where they go. If you have questions PM me.

P.S. Don't know if you heard or not, but I pretty much lost interest in riding and sold my bike 2 weeks ago.

Looking forward to seeing the bike finished and my headlight on it!

Right on, BRO!

Oh, and another thing..... Just look at the wires from your old controls when you cut them. They are all color coded so it's pretty hard to mess up on the switch end of it all. I know nothing about electrical and I did all this plus my on/off ignition switch. It was a breeze. Good luck buddy

Nah, I sold it 2 weeks ago to some hillbilly from Dallas. I just never ride the damn thing. It's sad, but I'll live.

I'll be here. No more bikes for me for a while. Just totally lost interest. The bike just sat here. Not hard up for cash whatsoever. The bike had a good buyer that really wanted it. Got $2800 cash. Sorry to see my first bike go, but time to move on. Will be here to help you and others
