    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Headlight shutoff for starting.

The relay set-up that was posted here a couple of weeks ago will work fine, but I've found an easier way. I have a 79 750L and it has the locked down on/off switch for the lights. If your bike has this you can modify the plastic switch cover to work as a normal switch. Just take it off and cut/file off the locking tab on the bottom of the cover, then screw it back on. It looks stock, but you can turn off the lights, start the bike, and turn them back on. This is especially helpful when the battery gets a little low from short low-speed trips around town. I can charge my battery a little by letting it idle with the lights off.
 
Seconded. Did this to my 79 550, too. Hella easy, just pop the swith-that-ain't-a-switch off and sand off the nub. Put it back and it's a switch now.
 
I've only had my 750L for a couple months and was wondering why there was a switch there that didn't move... I'll have to do this tomorrow. Thanks!
