Hi, as you might have read in my other thread I had some restarting issues. To get around this I'm looking at one of these modules. has anyone fitted them here? I'm thinking for any daytime town riding i would leave my headlights off and just use my fogs, as they would draw less, I guess. Suggestions? On topic for the moment please!
Depends on the bike whether it's necessary. My 955i Tiger has always on headlights so I merely fitted the switch from an earlier model which has the headlight slider switch still in place. It was plug and play, no mods needed.
As it happend Crispey, I ordered mine on Thursday from SquareDeals so it should turn up today/tomorrow If I remember I willl take pictures and post up a summary of my experience if you wish (Fitting to my Speed Triple 2010)
For those with single lamp headlight , just do what I did. I cut the earth wire inside the headlamp naccel and put a push/pull on off switch inline. Turns headlight off weather you have hi/lo on. Easy peasy and only cost me a $5'r or there abouts. Cheers
Okay, tried installing the module on my 2010 Speed Triple and there is no way this would work safely on my bike. The connecting sockets are quite large plus the multitude of unnecessary long cables. All this needs to fit behind the headlight bulb, which is small and gets hot. There is no way I can compact this down into the very limited space so mine is going to have to be returned. I didn't get as far as trying it out. I thought this connected to the loom under the air box, but you take out the socket that goes into the bulb, plug in one end of this device with the other being plugged into the bulb with a connecting loom joining the two headlights. I would have loved this to work, especially over winter and the expected difficult starts. But it is not suitable for the chrome bucket style headlights of the Speed Triple 2010.
Hmm, guess it would work, the switch would have to fit in the cowling above or next to the clocks. Could be done, there are waterproof on/off switches on Amazon/eBay for under a fiver and I have the cable. And it would only have to be one earth cable too for both the front lights
If you can trace the earth back further to an outside the headlamps position you might only need to cut into one wire ??? If not , if you have a reasonable length of wire you could hide/place the switch anywhere .
the sprint gt is a h7 headlight I like the idea of fitting a backdated light control unit may have to check this out or http://www.squaredeals-ltd.co.uk/ha...ated-grips-etc--kill-or-pass-switch-756-p.asp
Well i admit I'm no sparky but having read that I'm beginning to wonder if English is my native language.
