    Question for y'all.

    Bogan has diagnosed my RFID unit as somewhat broken

    The question is:
    Should I go RFID unit again or a transponder key fob?
    The bonus to RFID is the passive tags don't need batteries (meh)
    The bonus to transponder is it won't need a latching relay to be thrown by a smaller lower current one.
    The price? Both will currently cost less than $25NZD delivered.

    The products:

    Latching relay should be easy enough to sort out, and the more passive RFID is a bit cooler I reckon.

    I like the way you told me to wire it, that way I don't have to swipe it to turn it off.

    Finished the wiring (had a short hiding in the loom) and managed to snap a pic while the fuel lights (top two red ones) were flashing, more light = bling.

ID:	260190 Top chap Wired the indicator light on the dash up and made a plug/loom thingy for the voltage gauge. Basically, to have one idiot indicator light on the dash instead of two, take power to the bulb from the + wire on the indicator switch and then find an earth for the bulb, sorted! Now, I'll have to find some 6ohm resistors to slam in the loom for the indicators as the current draw is so pathetic only three LEDs light up and they don't flash either resistors or an LED specific flasher unit, not too sure if I trust 'em though. I think I have sorted out where to mount the front indicators too, will make brackets that go to the bolts in the lower triple clamp.

    True true... I spend thousands every month and I've never ever lost anything... but I always accept if something does go west on me, that I'll be out of pocket... no disappointment that way (even though it's not true, you can always reverse credit card charges)

    Anyway, they arrived fine, so let me know where you want it sent to and I'll do it next Saturday. My other spare; I'm going to try potting it with resin. They're just cheap Chinese junk, so I figure that'll help stop the vibrations from the bike killing it in the long term.
