Just as I start to think about how to re-do my wiring harness... this comes along.

I think you've just found me something that will save a bunch of time.

Since getting my gauges flashed, I no longer need the dash.  This will make the wiring rework a breeze!  Pingel switches woot!

That's a pretty slick unit.

Download the manual prior to purchase.... some mounting restrictions.

Worse, I actually spent about 50 hours teaching myself microcontroller programming, putting together a relay board, soldering things up and trying to make a durable enclosure. All trying to create a far more inferior version of what they've made.

It seems like under the seat should work well. I worry that under tank might be too close to the ignition.

Weren't you gonna make me one of those?  Now I gotta go actually buy the damn thing?

Under the seat *may* work.  As long as I can get rid of all those relays.

looks like the only 'relay' you'll need to keep will be the starter solenoid.

Solid state relays with integrated, self-resetting circuit breakers (i.e. no fuses)

spooge.

Shit.  I went to babelfish.com but there's no option for "geek --> English" translation.

Don't feel so bad, I'm pretty sure they have more people doing R&D than you do....

Gawdam that looks cool!

And here I was happy with myself for rewiring the brake light and turnsignals!   laughingdp

Man, I can't wait to read about your progress.   popcorn

Features at a glance:
# operation with push button switch gear or conventional switch gear (e.g Japanese or Euro-Bikes)
# completely replaces the fuse box or circuit breakers. Up to 8 independent circuits can be digitally controlled and switched off if necessary. Automatic reset after fault clearance.
# diagnostic function with 15 indicator LEDs
# the ultimate in operational safety due to switching operation with micro processor monitoring and controlling.
# flexible configuration of all functions due to easy setup
# no mechanical relays. Latest solid state components guarantee ultrafast switching without voltage drop or wear
# small housing
# the m-Unit makes a simplified wiring setup possible
# switching of high and low-beam with only one push button
# integrated digital hazard lights
# integrated digital, load independent flasher relay (like m-Flash). Self canceling flashers with adjustable settings
# integrated digital brake light modulator (like m-Stop). Flashing mode with adjustable settings
# integrated horn relay
# integrated anti-theft alarm
# smart switch off function of loads during start
# One-wire rear and brake light setup possible
# absolutely water proof and vibration resistant
# 'Made in Germany' by motogadget and therefore of the highest quality


I like the features, especially the last one!  Wink

That's pretty cool. Now if they only made a device that allows me to put on one of their gauges and keep the immobilizer working without having to take the dash apart and hide the circuitry.

I want either

Looks neato, with a lot of stuff i don't understand and a price that i thought (at first) was in the range of $33,000.  Shocked


yeah, Europeans use the comma as we use the decimal...I thought it seemed kinda expensive... Wink
