Yep you got all the right parts, should look great when finished!


Remind me what connectors you are using again? I just finished painting my new speedo and it's ready to go on the bike after work today which means I will have to remove my keyless button so I can access the ACCY mode for setting up the new speedo. While I'm at it I need to clean up the wiring quite a bit so that it's not even noticeable and it sounds like what you are going to use if the way to go. Especially the water proof part!

i used these (eventually) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Nice! Out of curiosity, did you use the wires that came with the switch?

Just to confirm...I have a 13 without security. I'm going to pickup the security module,siren unit, and led switch. Am I missing anything? What are you using the weather pack connectors for? Just a quick disconnect? Is there any work around for not losing the ACC?

I can't speak to the 13's. I suspect you have the two wire? If so, KCCO is your man for info. He mentioned needing a resistor of some kind.

Yes, the connectors are just to make it quick disconnect/water proof. Using just the button I don't see how you keep ACC only.
