Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It's covered in the thread about your bike. Sorry. Save your money.

 

Yep. You can run it from the battery positive, the heavy lug on the starter or even the single wire post of the main circuit breaker. Whatever's easiest to reach at the time.

 

TexasHill-Have you done this mod to your bike? Anyone with a non dresser (FLSTC, N etc) done it?

 

Thanks, guys!

These past days turned out being very hectic @ here and hadn't time to dedicate to the bike (a crashed hd on a computer and other things are guilty).

As soon I get my hands on it will inform about the results.

I'm willing to find & extract the relay and see what I find there. Although the manual is really clear, still wondering about the best possible way to make all connections.

Cheers,

 

If you are talking about adding a second relay then no.
If you are talking about running a wire from the battery to post 30 on the existing relay then yes.

 

Hi guys!

Got the material for running the wire, including thermoretractable tube for sealing the old post 30 cable that won't have use from now.

I imagine there's no need to replace the relay for a new one before checking if this modification works, am I right?

Will do it as soon as I can during this weekend. Imagine the easiest way for me to connect will be from the battery positive, as don't know where's the main circuit breaker located, and don't want to break something.

Cheers and thanks again,

 

Thanks for answering, Gunslingertom! :-)

Will have to wait 'till next week for doing the "operation", as I need to buy a crimp tool for joining both wires using a crimp on butt connector.

D1gger was so kind telling me I'll need cutting the wire from the 30 tab a couple inches down from the relay and connecting the newly run wire there using that connector. Thanks D1gger!

If you solder and heat shrink you will never have problems with that joint again, crimping on these shakers is not good.

 

Soldering is the best, but if you crimp it well enough, it will be fine. The OP doesn't have access to electricity at the bike for the soldering iron, so in this instance I think a good crimp connection will work just fine for him.

 

Hi RidemyEVO,

Thanks for the note, it's my fault, as I asked because I haven't electricity connection at the garage. I park the bike on a building where's no place to plug a soldering tool.. :-/

I'm thinking in trying to find a proper place to do this kind of repairs if it's that important.

Thanks!


Cheers,
