    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.

Help needed with new RR install & the headlight switch circuit...

That is good. Just thought I would explain the workings of the two sets of contacts and the fact that, after you bypass the headlight look with the stator wire, if you turn the light OFF (easier to crank the engine) while the engine is warming up and you are putting on the last of your gear, the battery will charge a bit quicker to recover from starting the engine.

THEN you can feel free to turn the light ON and hit the road. :encouragement:

Me to Steve,wondered why it worked but didn't worry to much as I was just glad it did.:cool:
 
Finished the Honda RR installation. Works great. Easy to install. Cut-out the leg of wire that goes up to the headlight switch. Works fine, just as everyone stated. What a weird/dumb way for the factory to wire that circuit...
 
When did the feds mandate the headlight? Curious because my 81 has the on/off switch that i only use when i park the bike so i'm not using more battery than necessary when trouble shooting or starting before i ride. After i get on to go the light gets turned on
 
In 81 the switch was still incorporated into the left pod.There is or was a nub molded into the back the lever to keep it on.Unscrew the lever,take off the nub and you had an on/off switch.Most models after 82 had newer type pods with no on/off switch.
