Excellent idea! Thank you. I followed your lead and just completed my own... same install. Hung the remote on a harness up under the fairing. Works great!.

It's been in use now for 12 years on this and my previous bike. I'm using one 9V battery which have been lasting about six years each, but I've been reluctant to try connecting to a 12V source. Has anyone done this? I've tried to find a way to reduce 12V to 9V but haven't come up with a solution, but with the battery life I'm getting I'm not too worried about it.
