Ummmm, the headlights turn off when you start the Rocket - right from the factory.

Beat me to it, I was going to walk to my bike and make sure.

Yes the $11.00 solenoid switch cause me some headaches. Fixed.

How do you get to do that? Mine are on as soon as you turn the key.

Correct. When you hit the starter button you divert the power from the headlights to the starter motor. If you look at the wiring diagram in my signature you will see the solenoid that does this simple feat.

Despite that momentary turn off of the headlights when starting they still come on and stay on with your ignition which does chew battery if you are working on something requiring the ignition or accessory circuits to be live. OK you can pull wires or possibly use the parking light key position. I need to check if that still powers accessories but doubt it.

So I was tempted when they had them on special late last year for about £12 from Square Deals in UK I think it was but they ran out of stock. Not sure I would spend £70+ after postage to Oz though. Easy to put a switch or inline fuse in.
