So Rob, looks like you opted for the full blown ignition bypass. Relays, as simple a concept as they are, confuse my electrically challenged head, so I went the easy route!
I'm thinking about it, I'm mapping it out on paper first. I understand the concept, getting familiar with the what wires do what, and from the photos I'm able to follow along. The search function is a great tool. I now understand the function of a relay.So Rob, looks like you opted for the full blown ignition bypass.

I agree Dean, this is a great forum.My ears are burning, guys! Now if I can talk DeanR into coming back up for another visit I'll introduce you two in person. Perhaps over a friendly game of pickleball? Probably a new experience for Rob but one that DeanR enjoyed earlier this year.
Rob, I will admit that while we were having lunch at Anna Mae's on Saturday, listening to you talk about the alternator issues I was reflecting back on DeanR's aborted journey to NNESTOC in September. I didn't mention it as my electrical knowledge is pretty much nil, and my awareness of which shops carry charged batteries for an 1100 is limited to a 50 mile radius of Barre, VT!
It's a great forum, eh? Lots of friendly sorts offering knowledge to keep us all riding in the most economical way possible.
will that be your solution too for your battery problems?
