where did I go wrong?
So on my 2010 Glide, I removed the fuse to the ACC switch, I bought the acc splitter (suggested in one of the posts) and cut it using the Orange and the Orange/Red ran the wires to the 2 inputs on the PCV. (2 closest inputs to the main cable on pcv)
I enabled the "Map Switch" in the software, downloaded a second map. I see map1 and map2 notes. But when I flick the ACC switch it still says Map 1 and doesnt change on the right side where the RPM, Throttle, info is. I tested the splitter with my VOM and it showed a complete circuit. Did I miss something in setting up the software configuration? I thought that clicking the ACC switch would show in the software the map change between Map1 and Map2
Thanks for any help in advance.

Switch lettering update
The decals didn't work as well as I was hoping that they would. Instead, I am having some small stencils made up with "POWER" on them. The stencils are going to be laser cut on either tape or contact paper so they will stick to the switch. I will then use some white paint to paint the lettering on using the stencil. I am thinking that this will work the best and be the most durable. I'm having several copies made, so if anyone would like a copy, let me know (and I can always have more cut if needed). Will post pictures when I get the stencils and have the lettering completed.

Thanks Duke and Kuten, I checked the open/closed status of the switch (had forgotten about that simple step using a VOM) and it tested fine. Then switched while the the bike was not running, the map stayed in the map 1 position. then started the bike and tried again, and sure enough, it switched between the 2 maps without problem. Now I'm just waiting for Keith at FuelMoto to send me an eco map and I will be good to go. I love these simple projects, maybe even more when I run into basic roadblocks, it keeps my mind active.... LOL...
Thanks again guys.

I got the text printed on my map switch. I think it came out looking good. I had a local laser engraver make me some "stencils" to use for the lettering and then used a piece of sponge and satin white paint to dab the paint into the lettering. Here are some pics.
Stencil
Painted on
Final look
I have a lot of extra stencils if anyone is interested in one. The hardest part is getting the center of the letters P, O, and R into place.

I understand the hobby and challenge of tinkering to wring out every last bit of power and fuel economy from our beloved bikes, but............is it really worth all the time, trouble and expense to do all this for MAYBE an extra 3 to 5 miles per gallon ? Geez we are already getting what 40 MPG on the low end ?
Now if this is all just for fun then rock on, but I prefer to ride as much as possible and wrench when necessary or when it's too nasty outside to ride.
Just my two cents, interesting thread none the less.

When I added my exhaust/Stage 1/tune, I went from 40 to 34. With the switch installed and a second tune, I went back to 40 mpg for highway cruising. So that I could still have the power when I wanted and didn't care about the mpgs, I added the second tune. Didn't interfere with any of my riding as I only worked on it when it was rainy and crappy out anyway. So I turned my "down time" into something productive and ended up with a nice setup to get me everything I wanted -- power when I want it and mpgs when I need it.
