My lovely wife surprised me at Christmas with the Ring-of-Fire for my GL1800

While it's so cold to ride, I might as well install it now as to not use up any ride time later. PROBLEM: I don't have a switch blank left on my left panel. I want to be able to run the Ring-of-Fire independently from my driving lights or any other lights.

What raz-zu suggestions or experience do you have solving my problem. What kind of switch and where do I get it and where do I mount it?

Thanks for your help.

I mounted an illuminated switch I bought at Wal-Mart and mounted it under the auxillary socket in the left fairing pocket. I put enough wire length to the switch so I can pull the pocket when I need to. It's hidden and out of the weather.

I picked up a switch box that mounts on the left side master cylinder. it has three switches in it. Hal has them.

I have two sets of three switches each, one on each handlwbar fluid reservior. They make both a left and right side, and work pretty well. You can see a photo under the Roady instal post above. And they came from HDL a couple of years ago.

toggle switch

I also mounted my metal toggle switch in the left hand fairing pocket. I tapped into the auxillary plug in wiring for a power source, figuring i would'nt be using my mp3 player at night anyway, so the circuit wouldn't be overloaded.
I also have my fairing vent lights hooked up to this same toggle switch. Like the mail man said, it's outta sight and out of the weather. JD :biker:

Ring of Fire Switch

I didn't use a switch on mine. Based on the expected life of the LED's, they should last about thirty years, even if they're on all the time.
