These are my switches for starters.

I installed them and ran them under the drivers seat to the frame wall.

Oh and mind the thumb ring...I have a very nervous streak and install of tearing my hair out I spin that, works wonders.

So...I have two switches, one is tied to the expansion block and the other my newest toys (see neons again just below this post).

I wired the main switch into what is called a expansion block, bar, add-on, whatever...

In doing this make sure you add a fuse, you know for just in case you touch the positive to the negative by mistake and blow your main fuse box (previous experience will lead to future betterment, trust me).

So I have in the picture to my left the fuse I am referring to. I used a 30 amp fuse with an in-line fuse holder. One side to the battery positive the the other to the switch batter terminal. Then from the switch positive on terminal to the expansion block positive (or what I created to be the positive side)

Here is a picture of the expansion block mounted to the fuse box under the seat. Notice how I loop the rear channels together. Doing this supplies each connection with that type of front connection. In other words I loop the four on each side to either the ground or in positive doing so linear so that each connection is the same for the first four channels. Giving me 3 total hook ups for expansion.

First channel is used for your battery hook ups to positive and negative from each side. The remaining three are for accessories.

In this picture I was not done was it is missing some connections.

The picture to the left show the completed setup once I put everything back together.

Everything fits a little tighter, however I have options to add more accessories.

The cool part about this is that some of you may remember I added some high power running lights to the front.

Well...creating this expansion block gave me the opportunity to hide my expansion block main switch and redirect the power to the lights through the switch so that no one else can play with the lights unless they know where the switch is.

Neons yet again

So I finally did it, I installed some real neons.

For around 40 dollars I did this whole install in my garage.

I start with (3) green neon strands (like I used for my rear signal) and some wires and switches.

The cool part about this setup is that I can control all my auxiliary lights with the flick of a switch setup to run a expansion block I have setup under my seat. The expasion block allows me to add up to three items at once incoporating the positive and ground in the same exspansion block.

(I will provide some details about the setup later in my blog).

So to top pic is in the garage the day I finished the setup from the right hand side. As you can see, before I remove the air intake box and do my intake mod the air intake plenum hides much of the light.

However the left side (second picture down) has much more light coming from it.

Man this thing is bright!

It will light up my garage at night when I took these pictures.

The lower two photos are from the first ride I took after the install.

Of course we all have to show off what we just finished right? Of course. So the night before I finished everything and then went for a ride the following night.

Once it gets really dark these babies really start to shine.

I decieded to leave my other blue ones installed as the green ones did not get in the way at all.

Install was easy as I zip tied them to the frame in various locations so that I could removed them and play with locations if I choose too. Plus tucked under the tank, you never know they exist in the day time.

Neons replacement

I originally had these neons around my engine. They were taken off a car modification I did and didn't like on the car. So I re-used them for the engine on the motorcycle for some ambient lighting.

The only problem is how bright they are, not very. So recently I moved them down to the lower frame to light the road under the bike at night. They seem to be pretty bright in the garage (which the camera does not show very well) and so I hope they look good on the road as well.

So in the dark garage they look good.

What I did was the neons came with their own hook ups to the positive terminal on the battery, so I mounted straight to the battery. Then the wire to the switch as an interupt so when the switch is off no power, on power and so fourth. The switch is an easy interupt for this use. I ran the wiring for the switch to the battery, ground and then to the neon positive. Finally placed the wiring under all the stuff under the seat and down on the frame wall, as seen in last photo. Then ran the neon power lines down the other side between the battery and the frame.

At the lowest section nearest the motor I placed some heat covering to protect the wiring before it reached the lower frame. Then I ziptied the neon strand to the frame.

It's really cheap and simple but gets the job done until I can get some more lights on the motor and other key places.

The switch I got was perfect with a screw on attachment base for use if you would drill a hole in something, but I didn't need all that.
