I second that!!! That is a tremendous help. On high, the grips are getting full power and the blinker relay is not in the circuit. On low power the blinker is in the circuit turning the power on and off to reduce the amount of time the grips are receiving power.
Yeah, I know what you mean regarding the size...any size is too big for the cockpit on an XR. You have to have a good imagination to find mounting spots. I thought you had bolted the switch. I forgot to look when you posted that pic earlier.
Actually, Thumpnred, looking at your diagram, shouldn't the blinker relay be on the other side of the switch? Between the low pole and the blue line?
Red got it right. When the top of the switch rotates to one side, the contacts in the body of the switch connect on the opposite side. Spud
I told ThumpnRed I was electrically illiterate. I was right! So the resistor/flasher is for the low setting? If so then why is it on the wire that goes to the "hi" side of the switch? That's what is throwing me for a loop. Thanks Guys! I couldn't have re-engineered these grip heaters without you! Anyway...I got heated grips!!!
I bought one of those for my bicycle to put turn signals on it to "dumb it down" for the masses around me, the two prong relay cost $7.99 at the time, the closest I could find now online is: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/Replacement+Relays+(Universal)/N0381/C0335.oap
OK, I just figured it out. Duh! That flasher I posted is also carried by Advance auto for the same price, $6.99.
Thank you, Kyo. I found a great flasher for $9.49 at NAPA. It has two terminals, and a service life of 400 hours. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NF_HD12_0335211065 Those relays you posted are excellent values! The highest current draw should be under 3 amps, so those heavy-duty relays are more than capable of handling the current. Spud
You took a break from drinking?! What the heck?! If you cant type and drink, you need to give up this internet crap.
Am I going to tell all of you guys ALL of my secrets ??? [/QUOTE] No, just where you keep that extra Renazco seat so when I do my breakin to steal the seat I know where to look. I will have my pockets full of treats for the guard also

Rocky Mountain ATV/MC has the MSR Tire Changing Stand on sale for $84.99. I own a stand almost identical to this, and it is excellent. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/-/171/726/-/30588/MSR-Tire-Changing-Stand/tire+changing+stand After you use a tire changing stand, you will never again want to change tires on your hands and knees. Motion Pro changed the design of the new "bead buddy." The Tusk "bead buddy" still has the original, superior design, and costs $4 less. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/-/171/726/-/3044/Tusk-Motorcycle-Tire-Bead-Tool Along with the above items, purchase a valve core remover and three tire spoons, and you will have everything you need to change you own tires. The following videos demonstrate an easy way to change tires. I use these techniques, and they work exactly as demonstrated. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BE1qG9iQZlg?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sFg44gjjDLA?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MCGvKMzBXPs?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f41SzK5ZHSU?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Spud
Might I inquire what some of you are running for a rear tire ? I tried to order a D606 140 from cycle gear and they replied it was no longer available . So, do I run the D606 130, or is there another 140 that I should look into? On another note note, just installed the Easton EXP freestyle bars, not sure yet how I like them, really like the height when on the bike, very tall when trying to get on the bike. They do not have much pull back, which makes standing up nice, but may be a little much while sitting. Anyway, let you know, as I get some more miles on it.
I grew up with Boxers, they are just big softies. All they want to do is be your friend. I keep telling my wife our next dog will be a boxer, but she wanted a Lab. Labs are just too emotionally needy for me.
