A project for electrical wizards
I just killed my Dyna battery again, I keep forgetting to turn off the console switch and killing batteries. Can one of you wizards figure out how to link the switch to the FOB in a way that distance from the FOB disconnects the ignition switch? I think there is a market for this type of accessory.
I know I am a dumass for leaving the switch on.

A helpful clue to turn the switch to the "off" position is to check to see if your headlights are on. If they are, your switch is too!

All you need is a battery protector - it disconnects power before voltage falls below what is needed to start. Or just stop using the kill switch.

The Headlight? It would be difficult with the factory set-up, because it uses the ignition being turned off to know when to arm. It would be fairly simple with aftermarket "fob" type systems because they are much simpler than the Harley system,but do you really want your bike turning off for no reason while you are riding? That will happen when if you are wired up that way...sooner or later. I have never used the kill switch on the handle bars...always kill it on the console...much simpler solution.

After a few engines in my WC Camaro became seriously ventilated, my "Friends' applied a label to my tachometer at a very specific RPM. The label was "BANG" . . . and I must admit it did work . . . maybe something similar for you?

Velcro. I have a friend who shuts my scooter off with the kill switch and forgets the ignition switch. i threatened to put a piece of velcro, sharp side, on the kill switch so he wouldn't use it. It worked,LOL
