Why not toss the blinker/brake light relay setup and just run the inputs into a separate badlands module? It's a tiny little thing, solid state, simple, and completely reliable. That thing looks pretty cool.

Didn't know they had something that would handle this, thanks Moe! The relay setup is still sitting on the bench, for now I just keep an eye out behind me and hand signal if needed.

Do you happen to know a part number or have a link? Looking at their list now...

I think Moe is talking about this unit...

So I am reading this thread as I am about to install the M-Unit once it arrives. It appears I need the rear tail light adapter that I just purchase on Amazon. My question now is....do I need a brake / blinker relay or will the M-Unit perform this function? I can tell this is going to be a mutherfudger

The M-unit will flash your signals (blinkers) you do not need a relay for that.

I posted that badlands module as a reference. I haven't used it myself but it seems like its job is to retain running lights as well as turn single function while you apply the brakes.

Although if you can get the same end result out of the unit posted by Thors that is about $85 cheaper and can be found at local part stores.

The tail light adapter arrived today. Still waiting on the M-Unit. Hope this is all I need. Otherwise, what is the point of going with this fix vs. WP....

Outside having to wait a few months for it?

For the record, this is what is in my AIH Texas Chopper.

From what I can tell it is a 5v system so the BDM stock controls should work.

 

[keladams]

interesting... what is the cost of the M-unit in US dollars?

 

[Thors]

~$280 - $300 depending on where you get it.

The 03 and older Big dog can use the Thunderheart system, but the newer ones are not compatible.

Why is that?

Converts the push buttons to HD style.

That along with the other module would likely do it. WP also makes some latching units that could be used to go "Harley like". Many ways to skin this cat!

How much more would it cost to go the thunder heart route... Between the micro controller and this converter?

I found the push button module for $40 and the micro harness for $260 so right about $300. I can't tell if the harness handles headlight or stop start but other than that it looks like it would work. The split blinker and blinker/brake combo would still need to be dealt with, but that's an easy fix.

EDIT: Looks like starter, comp release and kill are all in there - http://www.thunder-heart.com/Tech Service PDFs/EI4260.pdf

Definite potential. Still loving my M though.

EDIT 2: Looking into the instruction more I can't tell if the blinker function can work on a momentary switch. If it can't you'd need two momentary converters as each only handles 2 funtions...so if you want kill and highbeam plus blinkers... Not positive though, need someone to test it all out.

 

[RCAdd1ct]

On my AIH it has canceling blinkers.

Guessing the second module would just make the momentary switches act like the HD controls like on my AIH.

If I got the BDM bagger this ould be my route of choice.

Since a complete spare harness and controller is $260.

To those that have installed the M Unit......maybe I overlooked the topic but how did you wire the compression releases' into the M Unit?

I think it's in the other M-unit post. They go inline with the starter circuit. I used a relay to power the starter solenoid to reduce amp draw - so the M-unit powers the comp releases directly and the starter relay which in turn powers the starter solenoid. Sounds more complicated than it is...
