Ideas for custom ignition switches?

« on: November 07, 2011, 07:08:00 PM »

I'm customizing my Monster... you can see the progress and past steps here on my website motolady
http://themotolady.com/tagged/monster_project

And now I've come to a point where I want to look into alternative instrument options and also ignition switch/kill switch changes. I can't find much information on this, the ignition switch bit. I don't want to change my ignition, but the on button and the kill switch part.

I'm doing a lot of upgrades like new stacked headlight, mini speedo, rizoma resevoirs and probably grips, etc... so I don't want the big ugly plastic on and off switches they've got on my Monster.

It's a 1998 Monster 750 Dark.

Ideas?

Motogadget m-switch:

You can do more than one per side.

But like pretty much anything from Motogadget they're $$$.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I like this setup and the price isn't bad. Something like $180.

I'm looking into fitting some street fighter switches to my 03 monster. I'm sweet with the right side, the question is the left.

on the monster, as we all know, the high beam is activated by a toggle that maintains a constant contact to hold the high beams on. with the sf can anyone tell me if the high beam switch is a constant contact switch or is it a pulse that tells the computer to run high beams?

also can anyone tell me the handle bar size on the sf? is it the common size or something weird?

other than this possible issue it should be a matter of identifying and putting new pins on to use my old monster plug and ill be riding!

i would have two extra buttons on the left switch block that are used to control the display on the sf, but i think the switch block is a smaller and nicer look even if with two spare buttons.

Cheers Clint

I just ditched the kill switch on my Bandit and wired in a Motogadget m-switch (added a relay and two fuses too) for the starter button:

I'm not sure about the M750, is the throttle housing part of the handlebar switch or are they separate units? If they're one piece then you'll need an aftermarket throttle housing.

Cockpit shot to compare left (OEM) and right (m-switch) switches:

(Sorry, all I have is a phone camera.)

I found a pic of the right switch on eBay...not exactly "mini." Is the left switch any different?

from the proportions shown on this page, which i consider reasonable accurate, the street fighter switches are quite small and tidy.

Does anyone know if the switches run to relays?

Can anyone share the wiring schematic for the new streetfighter?
