Had a friend come by to look over my wiring diagram and figure out how to install my new bar control setup. Everything looks great and I will finish up the wiring job once the new ignition arrives.

Since the thing is a custom I've decided to reduce my bar controls as much as possible. I really don't need all the standard motorcycle controls. I'm going to be running a "Creative Factory Posh" mini switch for my lights/signals and nothing else. The M-Unit allows the use of a single push button for hi/lo beams which is pretty cool so the Posh setup is perfect. Will be purchasing a marine automotive style ignition switch that will be hidden under the tank so I can delete the Start/Kill switches on the right side.

So the first thing was to take apart the mini-switch and create a drill template with AutoCAD. (If anyone wants this I can send over the diagram). The Posh switch requires three holes -- 19mm, 3.3mm and 9mm. I did the math beforehand to make sure it would fit into my Renthal Ultralow bars. It clears with an extra 4.75mm to spare for the wiring loom.


Nice and clean! Although now my grips look kind of stupid.


The switch housing itself is curved to fit perfectly flush with the bars. Just taped on for the photo. A buddy of mine will be helping me tap the hole.
