I have an '06 F4i and I was wondering if anyone has any switches on their bikes for like LEDS or anything else? If so where did you mount the switch, pictures??

I want to put some leds on my bike but I don't want them on all the time so I want to put a switch in but I don't see any easy/convenient so I'm looking for ideas!

You can get some pretty nice looking ones and mount them in the covers over the air rams.

 

yup, thats what i did

 

Ok anywhere eles? I kind of wanted to leacve that area as a last resort.

check out a website called laptimerholders.com
they are made for lap timers for track bikes but it lookes to me like you could easily mount some switches in there if you drill the holes you want
only problem is that there may not be room with stock clip-ons to mount them above the tripple like I have mine so that might not even work, but its something to look into

 

follow the cover of the air rams up top to where they bolt into your upper fairing/windshield. there should be 2 predrilled holes (one on either side) just below the screw that holds the covers onto the fairing mounts. that is the best place for them. and the holes are already there for you. thats just my 2 cents though

 

Sweet thanks for the info guys!

The laptimeholder.com gave me a really good idea because I can proably make those at work and I might try that first but hopkinslax12 I will look at those spots when I get home also.

i put my switch to the side of my seat.

 

Which kind of switches do you use? I'm looking to do the same to my bike, and I'd want them on the outside so I can reach it at will, but not so obvious so little Johnny Grabsalot doesn't walk over and flip the switch a thousand times when I'm not watching. Are there switches designed for this use, and water resistant?

 

yeah i bought the 30 dollar pack of LED's at autozone they are for trucks grill but work great on a bike and i put the switch Right to the left side of my seat and it works great
