After having my bike almost stolen from work, and the person destroying my ignition switch in the process, I decided it was time to complete a few upgrades on the bike. I have created PDF version of them all. Any info anyone requires I can provide but these are just the basics on what I did with what parts and how.
Wireless Upgrade: Wireless Ignition.pdf
I completed this project as proof of concept, and to correct the ignition switch that was destroyed. I personally love the idea of starting the bike in my driveway on cold mornings and letting it warm up. I did not bypass any logic on the bike so if I want to start the bike I have to have it in neutral and for cold mornings have the choke out. I have future plans to install a servo to pull the choke out for me based on temperature but for now im happy. I also have plans to upgrade from the wireless board used in build to an arduino micro computer and have it Bluetooth controlled.
Stereo modifications: Stereo Modifications and antenna upgrades.pdf
I have modified my bike to remove the antennas, the tape deck and the CB unit as I didn't like the look of the antennas on the bike and impeded my cover always having to fold them down to cover up the bike. I never used the CB unit as I didn't have the compatible helmet for it nor have a group of people who would use it. The tape deck I removed as I wanted the storage space and don't have tapes.
Light upgrades: Light upgrades.pdf
I found that the bikes stock lights were terribly underpowered and I couldn't see on a good day when driving at night. So I purchased the LED and Halogen and upgraded, I can am now Highly visible and my headlight is bright as day. I also ran into the ypical problem we have where the signal lights were filled with water as they weren't properly sealed.
Cheers, and looking forward to critques!
