• 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.

What's this plug and switch at top of frunk for?

Hey everyone! Greetings from Vermont! Wife and I just got our ‘21 F3 limited chrome. Beautiful bike. After all our years and miles on our ‘12 RSS SE5, this is going to be epic. The previous owner had extra LED lights installed and only one side worked. I pulled the front bucket and found the fuse box from “Show Chrome”. They all looked good. I found one line that was corroded a bit and cleaned it and now both left and right Under Glow lights work. I have a plug and a switch shown in the pic that seem to go to the LED light strip at the front of the frunk under the lid. To me it doesn't make sense, but what do I know? Just trying to get that light strip working. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance…….Todd

The "plug" is probably for your battery tender. Follow the wire and see if it goes to your battery. Remove the four, corner plastic plugs on your frunk bucket and remove it. There's also another plastic piece at the top end of the bucket that needs removed. You'll find your battery there.

As far as the switch, when it's dark out start your Spyder, press the switch and see what happens.
 
I took the basket out already and do believe the plug is for a battery tender. Won’t fit my optimate plug but that’s fine. The switch is what’s the confusing part as it leads to that led light strip at front of trunk. Try to get pic up……….and I have removed the fuse box covers to check them. Fuse box in the middle is the “show chrome” box.

Green....the led strip I had on my ryker also had that manual kill switch for the led light strip....but to turn on the lights and change the colors u had to use the remote which came with it.
 
Exactly as stated above. The switch is part of the front led strip under the lip of the frunk lid and is from TricLED. I installed one of these for a friend last weekend. What I don't like about this item is that the main control unit is wired hot to the battery and is simply waiting for input from the remote control. You can use that switch to kill the unit completely, but what a PITA. If you do not have the remote, I'd strongly suggest you remove the wires for this light from the battery since you cannot use it without the remote, and you cannot tell if the switch is on or off. The other plug IS for your battery tender.
