For Sale: $10 trackday switch; lights off

[slowmike]

I bought quite a few extra components to test my trackday switch setup. I have enough left over to fit another bike with it.

When installed you will be able to turn off power to your headlight, brake/tail light and plate light with the flip of a switch while the bike is still on. When lights are off the switch lights up to let you know that they are off. When the switch is on everything acts normally and the switch mounts to the clutch lever for easy access.

I've got the relay, diode, switch + mounting plate, color coded connectors and instructions. The only thing you'd need is wire to make it work, a bracket to mount the switch's mounting plate in place (very much personal preference left up to you) and a little time.

Very basically we are taking the negative ground from all the electrical items we want to modify and running them from the 87 prong to the 30 prong on the relay and controling the relay using power from the 85 prong which has the N4005 diode to the 86 prong which leads to the ground.

Note that it can also be used to help with cold starts too.

didn't you learn to stop f'ing with the electrics from the SV!?!?!

:rolleyes:


nutty kid

[slowmike]

No; I just learned not to attempt anything too crazy and to make sure that everything is watertight...

The trackday button on the R1 hasn't given me any problems; the HID install on the other hand was a bitch and I managed to shock and cut myself while trying to get that in...

okay, but what about your turn signals? you forgot to disable those. you wouldn't want me to follow you around for a lap filming you and all the while you're signalling for a left turn, would ya?

(yeah i know they'd be taped up)

[slowmike]

they aren't on unless I've got them engaged... I also still have the marker lights on but the heat from those (and the signals if they were on) is negligable. It's the main lights I was worried about...

On a related note; I'm pondering just using the spares to wire up a switch to manully turn the fans on...

Huh? so your selling a bag of compnents for $10:confused:


I bet youd have more sales if youd actually assemble them yourself and sell the completed unit.

[slowmike]

I have enough spares for about one and a half bikes; so sales volume really isn't a concern; how long to make the wires and which wire to tap into is very very bike specific. What would work on the R1 would not work on a 2nd gen SV which in turn would be different from a first gen SV.

What I have is 75% assembled; if it's going on a 2ng gen SV I can do the other 25% of work but I don't know how long to make the other wires.

oh, my bad, I thought you were selling the un asembled kits, I did'nt know you were just getting rid of the spare stuff.

[slowmike]

:-) Just paring down what I have in the garage..

[slowmike]

tentatively sold. It's going on an 03 SVS so it should be easy to copy exactly what we made.

[racinteach]

you guys want a kit? let me see what I can come up with for a kit? mike I may need to see what you did

[slowmike]

I'm planning on heading down to your neck of the woods today before traffic gets evil; we could meet up after you get off work.

I've got a presentation on wed to ponder and that's about it so I was thinking of zipping to Santa Monica after lunch and hanging out @ the bookstore on 3rd street.. I can bring you the relay and switch; their new owner lives near you..
