fan switch
Has anyone put a switch on the fan where you can manually turn it on. I would like to still have it kick on by itself but have the ability to turn it on manually, like when turning the bike off so it can stay on longer or in between runs. If anyone has done it and can tell me what wires you hooked into to switch it on it would be a great help.
Thanks

You will not have hazard lights with this modification, the hazard button will be your fan switch.
Remove left upper cockpit panel. Remove the two screws that connect the left handlebar control.
Photo 1 Cut the zip tie holding the cluster of wires that is "inside" of the left handlebar control, cut the Orange wire and the Green wire to the hazard switch button. I also cut the Gray wire, (not to be connected).
Photo 2 Run two wires through the shrink tubing, these two wires you slide through will connect to the Orange and Green wires, make sure you have enough wire at the other end of the shrink tubing so you can route to the proper connection, carefully soldier them together, and tape well.
Photo 3 Replace the zip tie, make sure you mark one wire to the Orange, that will be the hotwire, the other will go to the fan connection plug.
Photo 4 Route the wire connected to the Green to the fan connection, I slid the Green wire into the Blue wire, it should fit tight, tape well.
Photo 5 Locate the harness plug that is wide, its behind the left headlight area.
Photo 6 Run the Orange wire into the large White wire connector, make sure it fits tight, tape well, install your panels, your hazard button is now your on/off fan switch, if you see you are going to be stopped for a few minutes in traffic or a long redlight, simply press the hazard button and your fan starts cooling your engine without having to wait until the engine gets hot and comes on automatically, it will still work automatically if you forget to press your hazard button, the fan switch will work without the engine running, Drag Racers will enjoy this feature as well.
Forgot about that, I can't get the pics, but maybe you can ping wheelie for a set.

I just right clicked and opened each pic one at a time. Good Idea but I was thinking of a seperate toggle switch. As I am installing a second fan from HPC and want it to turn off and on manual. Good job wee.

PMR switches. Even the dual buttons look neat and clean.

I couldn't find one installed on a 14 but I will show you pictures of mine once I get it done. I've just been too busy lately.

Thanks..... I was looking at a single PMR. I have the LSL Bar Mount Kit so I have old school handle bars. Looks like I can find a good place and clamp on.

Only reason I am doing the dual switch is because down the road I intend to install some leds and some Gator Glass.

Water proof switch w/plastic bracket mounted with windscreen wellnut.
Power is from a terminal strip I ziptied to ram tube to a splice on fan side of factory plug.
The fans plug to the wiring harness is just above the coolant tank.
