Great mod, but I found mine was doing the same thing. when I switch the high beam on and off the relay will activated. How I solved my problem I added a diode between the coil on the relay pins (-) 85 and (+) 86

(-)85 --->|---(+)86
diode

Radio Shack part# 276-1101 diode

I don't know much about switches and such...but would it be possible to wire it to the N light? So that when that turns on (put the bike in N) it would open the door?

Just curious?
