    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

12v switched circuit recommendation (dyna s intstall)

hi all. first, I must confess I am not the best with electrical matters, so beg patience and thanks for the help. I'm installing a dyna s electronic ignition and need to choose which place (I gather there are several) I connect to the switched "key on" 12v circuit.

I have located the orange/white wire coming from the coils, so I think I have that option, but have also read that the rear brake light switch is a good location. I have one orange and one white wire at the switch, but not sure which one is correct if I go that way.

I will NOT be using the clamp-on splicer that comes with the kit, so no need to advise against that. I know they suck.

Thanks and let me know which way you'd go or if you have other recs for where to connect to the circuit. There's some crusty wiring on this bike, so I see more electrical work in my future...
cheers
 
The orange/white to ignition coils is good choice...yes, lots of electrical work likely ahead of you. Read up on charging system issues
