Couple weekend additions to Violet

[omslaw]

A few years ago, I added a couple switches in my left inner to manually turn on the fan and also to turn off my HID.

Got the hookup from Russell on the PMR switches. I picked up a triple barswitch and also added a momentary switch to the order (more on that in a bit). Figured I'd move the switches off the inner (I'd like to paint the inners and the switches are in the way).

Everything I have is either controlled by relays, so I don't need wiring that will handle a lot of current...so I grabbed some black CAT5 cable and soldered everything to the switches...




Switch mounted




Covered the back up




OK, so back to the momentary switch... I've been carrying around my garage door opener in my tank bag; not always convenient. So, i took the opener and ran some wires to it and soldered them to the switch terminals.




All closed up and it will still function normally.




Right now, I just tucked it under the inner, by the fuse block, but I'll likely run cable to the tail and put it back there; easier to get at to change the battery. Opener works great...just a push of the momentary switch and door opens and closes

And for the final addition, a 3BR Powersports 5v DC USB power port...




Now I just plug in my iPhone and put it in my Bagster while out riding...it stays charged!

Love the clean wiring, mine is a wee-bit messier.

NIce bike Omar, it looks sad that it's missing the bash tho.

Good wiring job too

Thanks, Doug! Yeah, I wish I could make it...just not in the cards this spring - perhaps the Fall Bash lease:

very nice bro

Looks good Omar. Captain schooled me on soldering this weekend. No more crimp connections for me. You will like the 3BR outlet. I love mine and it keeps the droid going.

Love the use of the Cat 5 cable... great idea

Just talked with Doug - he told me of all y'all did. Yep - soldering is the way to go! I soldered and then put heatshrink on all the connections.

Thanks - I was looking for something with multiple conductors...and CAT5 worked great (not to mention that I have enough of it lying around... need hot-pink? LOL)

nice job! Violet is looking great as always

[Big Moe]

Man that is just crazy how some folks can do stuff like that without even battin an eye!! All the add ons are outstanding and clean setup!!

[RussellJ]

I like the idea of the Cat5. I already bought a ton of 22 gauge wire though unfortunately :-(


What did you cover the backs up with?

[BigBSBusa]

She looks great, Omar!

[GSXcite]

Which one of those switches flushes the toilet?
