    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...

    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.

Sorry to be a putz but can anyone point me to the instructions for said Mod? I've done a search and been all over Basscliff's site and through it to the other lads sites and come up dry. I know its written somewhere as I remember reading it a few months back.

Referring to this project can any of the Canadian members advise me where I can get the relays? Tried Parts Source, Napa & Carquest but not finding anything.

Cheers all,
Spyug.
 
Hi Mr. spyug,

My webpage is kind of wide. It's in the column on the right side of the page.

Coil Relay Modification
(by Mr. oldryder and Mr. Matchless)


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCLiff
 
Thanks fellas. Much appreciated. I'll bookmark it this time.

Need to get the eyes checked again too I think:eek:

Cheers all,
Spyug
 
Hey I'm better than 20/20 in one eye. The one they put the plastic lense in:clap:. Its only when I try and use the other one (with the growing cataract) that I need the seeing eye puppy:o.

I'm actually thinking of getting a side hack so I can get the seeing eye puppy to ride with me:p (and point out the way)

And no I don't enjoy spending everyday in various amounts of pain. I'm looking forward to getting out this coming weekend to test out the new heated grips so i'm starting to ramp up the Ibuprofen today so I can be relatively pain free....I hope:pray:.

Ride safe everyone......that means behind me.

Cheers,
spyug

Well, I'm not Canadian, but I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts, not sure if they're in the Great White North.

Bwringer recomended them in a post I saw - they carry a Optronics "40A relay for auxiliary lights and horns," P/N - A715, for about $5. Nice little relay, weather proof, heavy duty & cheap!

Lordco comes to mind, but I think they may only be in BC. Princess Auto has always been good to me for this sort of thing. Canadian Tire used to be good though I they don't stock as many generic electrical parts as they used to. It depends on the store.

Pretty much any place that sells exterior vehicle lights should be able to help you (think of off-roading, truck accessories and the like). Tell them you you want to wire up some fog lights and you need the right relay since its the same part (get two of them).

Thanks guys. I did actually find them in the Napa store. I took the part number from the one mentioned in the tutorial but it didn't match as the numbers are for US product. I did find them hanging on a display board and for fellow Canucks the part is by Grote model #44840-5 (30 amp 4 pole).

Guess what I'll be doing this weekend.

Cheers all,
Spyug
 
I got mine at canadian tire, just a generic relay, I bought two and carry the second around with me. Best bang for the buck mod by far. I mounted mine on one of the screws that hold the starter solenoid. No problems at all so far.
