Do I want to install another relay BEFORE the Smart Switch, tied to the ignition... dunno know. After I run down the battery the first time, I'll be at the local auto store, buying a relay like the one Ryan described. Live and learn...
i don't recall offhand, but have you looked into one of the other power spots on the bike ? i know there is one by the battery, but i don't recall if it is constant or on the ignition. i don't remember if there is another one. i think Gadget has that info on his site.
