Quick update on my communications with Digital Guard Dawg regarding having them make a plug-n-play solution for our Ventures. They were very interested, saying they want to add more models to their lineup of p-n-p solutions and asked for more info. I shared all my documentation, connector part #'s, wiring diagrams and pics with them via a google drive earlier today and can see that they have been accessing it. https://www.digitalguarddawg.com/

I have been using Cycle terminals for years to make the plug and play ignition relay kits for the 2nd gen here. While you were making your harness you probably should have added in a relay to not run all the amps thru the switch. I also have made a "keyless" rig for those that wanted a by pass so if the switch did die on them. Those little bitty wires for the 3 wire plug are small. So depending on how your tapping in on them, be careful.

I will continue looking for push buttons that look more "professional" (for lack of a better way to describe it). The ones I used are ok looking, but that's it. There are OEM style push buttons out there that look much nicer, but are larger diameter, which was going to make the "bumps" that much larger as well. They are also a bit more expensive and since I wasn't even sure if this was going to turn out, I took the cheap/chicken way out. Might turn into another future upgrade project, but I'm happy enough with it now, as-is.

Well, after all the work I couldn’t help but post a walk around!

Thank you! Well, I tried to do it with my stock windshield but it has a slight tint. Consequently it would only pass a certain light wavelength which was a dull bluish white regardless of the color input. The key is to have a true clear windshield or it won’t work right. The bike is outfitted with XKGlow lighting (self installed) and I happen to have some extra 10” lighting strips and cables. I put a light strip facing inward towards the windshield and touching the edge, then covered with rubber trim to keep the light from going anywhere but “in”. Then just ran my cables to tie into the section of lighting I wanted. In my case I have “dual zone”. The engine area is ZONE 1, the rest of the bike is ZONE 2. There are manufacturers who make edge lighting kits but they are all limited to 4 color choices. I wanted mine to match since I literally have 22 million color choices and they’re app controlled. They can breath, strobe, brighteness adjustment, go brighter the faster if go (speed control) or dance to the music I’m playing.
