Did you disconnect the R/BK from the Lights fuse ("O" on 64B) that goes to the common R/BK on the ignition switch (and seal off this wire) and instead run a jumper from that fuse to "T" on the connector to the start relay (62B) and so 87a?

I suppose the only slight downside to this would be that if you stalled the bike at night then the lights would go out when you pressed the starter.

IMO you hit the nail on the head, Foxster.

Here's a 2004 Main Harness Wiring Diagram in which I added this modification.

a. Cut R/BK connection at incoming side of lights fuse (comes from ignition switch in position "ignition").

b. Connect incoming side at lights fuse to start relay pin t (87a).

Red arrows indicate 12 volts flow.

That is exactly what I did with one minor change. Bought a 20 amp relay from from Progressive Wiring.

Part number for that 20A relay? Addy for that company? There are a few companies with similar name. Thanks

That's weird...According to the 2006 wiring diagram lights & starter relay feed pins are all connected to R/Bk wire that runs from Ignition pin at Ignition switch.

Perhaps your bike has been modified?
