Is it really that big of a problem? Are people actually running into the back of busses cause they didn't see brake lights blink.gif

Maybe at night?

Yes..........

I guess we will all find out if a third brake light upon deceleration is a good idea or not.

There is a rider in the Health Care Bill that will spend a few million dollars researching the value of a third yellow light on the rear of motorcycles that would turn on upon deceleration.

I understand a lot of buses and taxis in NYC are testing this system, and it is being widespread tested in certain European countries.

Very,very cool! But it needs a "knock-off spinner"

This is a custom rear wheel a friend of mine machined out of a solid block of alloy.......note Knock-Off Spinner

Yes, I installed a Signal Minder on my 04 (every bike I own has one)

Very easy install with the new, updated product. But if you have a problem, the Kisan folks are amazing with customer service.

I have tons of info written up on this. Send me an email and I'll send it to you. Quite easy to do and the results are fantastic.......I've done a bunch of different bikes and all work great.

Have you folks seen this..

"How to build an Electric Motorcycle"

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-bui...ric-motorcycle/

FANTASTIC! And the work looks top rate!

Hows about we start a collection to buy some real batteries. You should put a PayPal link on your site and ask for a few $$ to keep the project going. Lots or folks like to be involved with inquisitive minds such as yours...........

Good Luck!

MORE PICTURES WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not add a Whistler 3500 radar detector and get radar protection and voltage and external temperature all in one......

This looks great, but one question.......What does the relay accomplish?

I can uinderstand a heavier wire and better connections so the RR see proper voltage to adjust to, but I'm confused on the relay.

The relay is there for two reasons:

#1. The OEM setup is switched via the ignition switch. I simply replicated that by using the sensor wire to trip the relay.

#2. The relay provides a handy point for adding a switched terminal for other accessories, without having to cut into the harness(and thus introduce more potential problems. This circuit will be fine with low demand devices, or will work well to trigger another relay for something like Heated Grips/Suits or a Video Camera that have higher draws, and should be on a dedicated line to the Battery.

Thanks........

On my bike (which is a 2004 ABS with 14K) I'm not experiencing any problems yet, except for high voltage. My radar detector gives me voltage read out and at times it's over 16.5V.

"The OEM setup is switched via the ignition switch. I simply replicated that by using the sensor wire to trip the relay" Why? Does this wire simply turn the RR on and off? If this black wire was "hot" all the time, would it be impossible to shut the bike off?

I've already installed a swiched aux fuse block, right in the general area of the RR. Can I simply hook up the black wire here? This fuse box turns on and off with the ignition, triggered from my tail light.

This weekend I'm doing the fuse replacement, RR rewire and the Blue connector grounds..........Fun!

Yes it snows, but the car that parks over the lift never goes out in the snow......In fact, it's in storage all winter.......Thanks

My wife was VERY concerned when I started to dig a 6' X 3' hole in the garage floor........ :lol:

Thanks for the kind comments................

"Man Cave".................I like that!

I have a garage that needs to be occupied by a car and a motorcycle lift. The lift is too tall for the car to simply drive over, so this weekend I embarked on a little project.......
