micro switch at flash-to-pass location ???

[bang-n-gearz]

Gathering parts for my FF50 install. I bought a mini-micro rocker switch for that space in the housing where Euro's I believe have the flash to pass feature on left handle bar control housing.

I know someone with FJR did this, does anyone have that thead ??? Or someone else with pics? I can't find it

hey... thanks

What did you search on? I found it in about 10 seconds with flash to pass site:fjrforum.com at Google.

I found that one, was referring to another one, I might be wrong. Been studying up for so long now, all the threads and post are looking alike. I have OCD... no!!!!! yes!!!!

I am ready, been raining like crazy here in Dallas wish I had everything this past weekend. Ordered Datel & micro rocker today. Sunshine today.. and now I want to ride.

I remember a "o -" style switch installation picture related to an auxiliary light thread. Let me dig around.

[edit]

Here it is, related to Soltek installation:

Thanks I had that thread stored too, but didn't realize I had it. I am so high maintenance.

thanks again,

Here's a picture of my micro swith install in the flash-to-pass hole. I used a momentary contact switch (springs back to off position when I let go of it) and wired it to a garage door opener. It took a small amount of filing to enlarge the hole slightly so the switch would fit. Works great and is easy to hit with my finger when I'm coming up the driveway.

Is it water proof?

Probably not.

I used silcone sealant around the switch, but the switch itself isn't designed to be waterproof. That being said, I've got about 13K miles on it and a few decent rides in the rain without any problems. It's also easy enough to replace the switch if it does someday fail due to water getting into it.

Check my thread to see the plastic thingy George sent me to cover it. I've got a zillion an apparently he does too. If you need a couple, PM me and I'll mail you a couple
