      And the m-unit costs more than the engine I'm trying to wire.

    Great video! Wiring up using the FX style ignition switch is great. Can you shed a little light if using the stock ignition switch for a 1967 FLH. Terminal #1 is the switched 12V, can you use Terminal #5 to complete the m-Lock? My ignition switch has 5 terminals, and only two are needed. What its your take on this. Thank you

    Isn’t the negative from the m-unit to battery redundant? Doesn’t it get it’s ground from the frame?

    Why did you put the 2 tail light wires together???? No need for brake switch??? CONFUSED

    • @lundyracing
      @lundyracing Рік тому +4

      The brake light bulb is voltage sensitive. Bikes not equipped with an m-unit have 2 effective power wires. One is key on power, so that your brake light is always illuminated while the power is on. The second wire is switched power, just like a light switch. When you pull the brake lever it’s like turning on a light switch and now you have double the voltage which illuminates the second element in the brake light, making it brighter. This is achieved in the m-unit using a circuit board and (I/o logic?) essentially it’s programmed to send the proper voltage to the tail light to either illuminate the running light or the running light AND the brake light. This wouldn’t work on a bike without an m-unit as you would have only 1 12v circuit and the light would never “see” a difference to illuminate the brake light. I hope this helps.
