Finally posting a picture of mine completed. Light still comes on a few seconds after turning it off though for some reason. May have to install a relay to cure that?

looks like the 2014+ low riders have the best solution (not cheapest).

46 + 48 here:

i think this can be do with a barrel key standard switch rather than the $200 hd part.

mounted on a horn bracket like wknds did the the sandbagged custom mount


i saw it while searching for bikes...




Ha! reading....

The LED on the push button comes back on (slightly) about 10 seconds after the alarm arms itself and chirps. Thinking a relay may fix it but I'm not going to undo all my wiring that's finally clean now til I have to for whatever reason.


Reading? Yeah I know, right! Not like this place is a forum where the whole point is to read. I'm all about helping people out but not those that don't try to help themselves first, at least try!

Default Keyless Ignition

One of my favorite mods. FYI - forum sponsor DK Custom sells a button like this now.

The button has the red light in showing power, but nothing happens with the bike. Any thoughts?

This is the switch I'm using:


I once used that switch to power on subwoofer amp in my truck. i believe its really a 2 pole switch + a 3rd pole just for the red light. swap your wiring around and itll work.

I like DK Customs too, but why in God's name would you pay $40 for the same switch you get for $30 on eBay?

I can use all the money I save for other stuff.
