Switches...

[Daddy Fatsac]

First off...Hello.  Been awhile since I've been around...but I couldn't bare talking about my downed Hayabusa anylonger.  So I took a break from the boards.  

But now I'm back and it feels so good!!

Now to the topic at hand.  

  I got a HID light (sometimes goes out on starting the motor) and a second radiator fan (so I can have it running before it gets hot)...I'll need two switches for them.

The problem I'm having is where to find two decent type see-saw like switches that are water resistant or proof...or do they even need to be water proof?

If you know where I can buy...let me know.

Yep, heres my switch mod. RADIO SHACK blue single pole toggle switches. RUbber screw on caps. BOth $2.00 +/-.

Open switch harness and fit switch into place. Mark and drill small hole from exterior to interior. Solder some wire to it and run it along the wire harness wires. Mount and put harness back together. NEVER actually took it off the bike. Screw on the rubber cap which also secures switch into place.

FOR HID and FAN. USE A 12v car relay to keep the load off your switch. Email me for hook up instructions if needed. WHen done looks factory and it's at your thumbs.

Looking at that setup I'm guessing you don't have a problem with water.  Now for the questions...

1.  Would a see-saw type switch not work?
2.  How tall is that switch?
3.  Would I be alright throwing that on the inside of the front fairing?


And OMG...I didn't know you can online shop at Radio Shack.  I'm in heaven now!

Do you think I'll be alright with this switch?

Be glad to answer any of your questions but PLEAZ dont *wink* @ me people might start ta talk.......

The first switch (black rocker) is about an 1½ in diameter it's Huge.

I would go for this one.

it's about 1/8th thick and ¼ in tall. the rubber cap keeps all moisture out. The rest is inside the housing. I hot glue all my connections when done for extra protection/vribration resistance. The see-saw (rocker) switch will work fine. Actually any switch will. Mounting location is up to you and also works fine. Heres a different angle of the switch installed.

I personally go to marine shops for bike switches. HD (that's heavy duty), water proof (salt water even!) vibration resistant stuff.

Super expensive! Like $ 12-18 for a 2 dollar switch. But hey, we spill more than that!

 

[Daddy Fatsac]

Hey my bad pimpin'!! That switch that you had the link to does it come with the rubber protector on it (hey keep it clean)?

Mikey...do you have any pics of your setup?


You got me just about sold on your setup though...even though I want to have the rocker setup...I just think the little knob would be better in the long run with the moisture and thangs...
