Now I know even less about electricals than Hogs do about the Sabbath... but why not give it a try and see what happens? If things get ugly, just remove the switch and chalk it all up as a learning experience...

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Headlight switch?

no more limp mode or error code on startup
You did not mention that you had installed HIDs, but even so, here might be the easiest solution for your problem: Ron & I purchased and installed HID headlights from Custom Dynamics. Installation was no problem but while Ron's bike worked just fine, mine would not start on the first try: When the HID would first spark to light, the high voltage would kill the ignition. :gaah:On the second try, while the lights were still on, it would start.
Ron installed a dedicated fuse wire from the battery to a relay mounted on the left side of the air cleaner triggered by any wire that gets "hot". When the key is turned on, then the HID come on before the engine is started, and now, it starts every time.
Simply unplug the wires for the HID from the factory headlight sockets. Red is hot, black is ground and connect them to the relay: The computer doesn't know if the lights are on or off.

Good points on bypassing the oem headlight harness.... So obviously the spyder will run fine without the headlights on. I would also note for those installing using the oem headlight harness--- you should just skip using the "hot wire" relay that comes with your HID kit as the oem harness is ready on a relay.
