Thanks for the thread. I looked up what you wrote and looked up the wiring schematics for my 83. The color codes are the same, and looking at where the wires are going too it looks like it should work. Will try it tomorrow. Led lights will be in tomorrow too!!!

OK. Thanks for the clear up. My HID is powered seperately so I am going to look up how to disable the RLU. I remember reading on it somewhere on here. Thanks for the help.

I went ahead and added the jumpers to the back of the cms. I put a good bead of solder on all the connections involving the tail, brake and headlights. I understood that once I put the jumpers on the reed switches and switched to h.i d that the reserve light would not come on. Did I get it wrong?

Finally got around to taking cms out. I could not find any cold solders. I went ahead and added the jumpers for the brake lights, turn signals and low and high beam. Waiting on L.E.D. s to come in for dash lights. While I am waiting on dash lights, I was thinking about taking hi/lo switch apart since I didn't find anything wrong with cms. See if I can find anything wrong in there. I do ride in all weather. What do you all recommend for lubing speedometer? I also installed an HID headlight using a on/off switch mounted on handle bars to save ballast..

Thanks Randy, my winter project just got pushed up. Was planning on converting dash lights to L.E.D. plus converting headlight to H.I.D. Trying to free up amps on the bike as best I can. Now I will just do it all at once. Don't want to take the old girl apart anymore than I have too. Anyone converted to H.I.D. and figured out how to keep alarm off of cms? Thx, Mike

Hello all, My low beam started going dim last week. When the light dims the Headlamp out indicator comes on. I replaced the light with 2 different new Bulbs. They do the same thing. The high beam works fine including the Original bulb. I have been trying to narrow down the culprit. I am thinking It is the CMS needs resoldering. Do you redo all points on circuit board or certain ones? I looked up the CMS removal and repair in tech library and would like a little better detail. Thx, Mike
