Ignition Relocation Question

[The Kiwi]

When I have the Ignition relocation Kit fitted that I have ordered from Rivco Triumph Rocket III Ignition Relocation Kit - British Customs will I loose the steering lock?

I am thinking... Yes!!

Yes, you will lose the steering lock. imho, a worthless feature anyway. no great loss.

One, or two, good kicks to the forks will snap that 'lock' right off.

If you're worried about security get a caliper lock.

Just don't forget to take it off like I did. It was a short, embarassing, ride

something else to think about:

With the relocation kit, you will be adding several feet of relatively small guage wire to the circuit. More wire, more resistance, more heat.

With the ignition switch as well-documented weak point in the circuit, you would be advised to install a headlight relay system at the same time. If you don't, you WILL have an ignition switch failure. Not if, but when.

Thanks tdragger, the relay kit has already been assembled by Hanso for fitting in the next week or so, just have to arrange a convenient time to go visit him.

Good advice RatBoy, apparently, disc rotors are much softer than most people realise.

Sounds fine, there is a slight chance of working Tuesday night, finish work at 08.00 and then free for the day.

Either way I can meet you at Woodworks Cafe, have a brew, and then head off down the hill to the coast.

Cheers,
Mal.

I'm with tdragger--the ignition reloc and headlight relay mods are best as a combo-mod--and the rotor lock is much better security than the lame fork lock you'll be losing (as long as you remember to remove it prior to take off...
