Yes, ,definitely....DEFINITELY ditch the original plastic carrier rack. Mine broke last week, being chased down the road by my own top box was not fun.

Yes I freely admit it was my cock up, I never thought there was a normally closed side to a momentary switch.  Just goes to show what can happen when a semi educated crane driver gets a soldering iorn in his hands..

   Just down the road then....

   Ok, get ready to nominate me for the SHOTY (Shit Head Of The Year) Award! After having that trouble with my modification and no luck using the helpful suggestions from others, I retraced my installation steps to find that I'd soldered the wires onto the switch backwards. Instead of the switch giving a momentary "on" signal, it was getting a continual "on"signal hence the other buttons not working.So, after swapping around the positions of the wires on the switch, HAPPINESS!. Everything works just fine HOORAY!!
  So SHOTY for me? Or good on me for being able to diagnose it myself? I'll leave it up to all of you.

Hi everyone,
   I'm the owner of a 2009 GTR 1400 (red) and previously a BMW R1200RT and before that an FJ1200. This forum is a wealth of information just like it's sister forum from across the pond, I learn some thing new every time I log on..
   So happy motoring and farkeling and stay upright to you all.

Yep just done that, gave it a good 20 minutes while finished getting the dirt magnets off to school. No luck unfortunately.  Now I'll go back over my install and check all the connections and the earth. After that I'll be at a loss. I really REALLY want this mod. to work as it's such an excellent idea (and I've drilled that hole in the switch block) So do you have any more suggestions?......... PLEASE!

   I've completed the very excellent scroll modification on my 2009 GTR1400. What a thoroughly brainiac idea, jumped on that one like a fat boy on cake. I too lost my TPS for a little while but they came back. What I also lost is my trip meters and don't seem to be able to get them back. Has this happened to anyone else who has done this mod.? How do I fix it.  I definately didn't overheat the pc board when I soldered on the wire and I followed the instructions to the letter, how could you not with such an excellently laid out procedure. HELP!!!
