When I started reading about all the various relay mods and accessories being added, I became curious. I wondered whether any or all of these mods could be combined. If so, how would I go about it? I also wanted to place a permanent line to connect my battery tender. Then I saw the mod to turn the headlight off while the starter was engaged and I was hooked. I put pen to paper, combining the various mods into one cohesive unit. I finished my work and tested it, and it works as designed.
These are the mods combined into one:
Coil relay mod
Ignition switch mod
Horn relay mod
GPS, Grip heaters, accessory port, battery tender, and just about anything else you can think of (that your charging system can support)
And it turns the headlight off while the starter is engaged.
The document includes a system diagram, tools list, parts list, and possible sources. It also explains how to do certain things, such as soldering, debugging, testing, etc.
Constructive comments are welcomed and appreciated.

System Relay Mod with printing enabled
Coming soon: GPz Relay Mod. A twist on the original System Relay Mod:
- The GPz turns the headlight off until the bike starts, so the headlight mod is not required.
- The ignition switch is fine, so there is no need to modify that circuit.
- I used a commercial ganged fuse block, so there is no need for a terminal strip and inline fuses.
- I have a MotoBatt AGM battery which has 2 sets of terminals for both 12V and ground, so I used the second set for the relay mod.
- No wires were cut anywhere, so converting back to OEM is a simple as plugging the original wires back into the circuit.
- Since the airbox is removed from the GPz, more space is available for mounting the system.
