Got all of my relays pieces parts and connectors I need today. will install tomorrow so ignition switch won't go out this weekend

It does my heart good to see all the recent concern and action taken to solve this little flaw that causes such a big problem if left until it fails.
However you guys decide to go, Eastern Beaver or home remedy, I know it will benefit everyone that does something to bypass the headlights. If you spend any time riding or plan to keep the bike any length of time, this is a must do.

Just a thought Jesse, when I did mine and when I do the ones for CanberraR3 and Kiwi I will use the connecter block (I used Narva relays and blocks) that is available, if you are not famililar I will explain this block comes with connecters that lock into place in the block after you have attached (crimped and soldered) the wire to the connecter you are able to solder cos it does not have an insulating sleeve due to the fact the block insulates and the wire once you have placed them in the correct holes will line up with your relay which will make it simple to change one if it blows

Hanso, can you supply a wiring diagram for us do-it-yourselfers? Would you also have a cut list for the wiring?
Thanks!

Hanso,
does this look about right? I think I've got it figured out from looking at the harness on the Eastern Beaver website.

Are 30 amp relays enough?
How big a fuse do we need?
What gauge wire do you recommend?
Any other tips?

I will do mine as well. Just waiting for you to roll up and show me.

the wireing diagram is almost perfect, you only run the negative to the relays the lights already have a suitable earth, earth is not the problem area, otherwise yep spot on
Yes 30amp 12 volt is perfec,t I run a 20amp large blade style (on the left in picture) fuse at the battery end so if you ever blow a fuse it is easy to get to I was nearly tempted to buy the relays that have piggyback fuse but then you would have to lift the tank if you blew one!
I used 25/30 amp dual core (inside an extra cover tubeing) for the power supply + & -- it's 4mm not sure of the conversion you will need about 3 foot but allow a bit extra when you buy it just to make sure, you need to cut a 6 inches of and slice it in 6inches in from the end
You will also need 3mm 15/20amp dual core from relay to harness you will need 3 pieces about 14 inches long
you also need shrink wrap tubing and some insulation tape also two eye type connecters to connect the wires to battery if you find your battery terminal bolts are two short buys some m6 stainless steel bolts another thing I use and should be available at you Auto spares shop is electrical grease use it on all connecters and where ever possible solder all joints it is even a good idea to put some solder on wires you are going to crimp and use a good crimper.
There I think I have covered everthing I will be making one of the harness up this weekend and take pictures for those who are not sure about what I mean about splicing the power wires
