looks like i'll be the first to try this out! should be interesting.

What type of an electrical system do you have?
ylwgtr:
I tried one of these out yesterday .....works well!!!You could use a capacitor to run it
jBernard:
@Larry
hey sorry, i still need to give you a call about mounting this on the head, will try and call you this afternoon!
i don't know what my electrical system is looking like at this point. Plan is to go EFI, and I'm trying not to run a battery, or at least a heavy one. So i guess my choices are either a charging capacitor like the crf's and yamaha wrf's use but not liking the idea of kicking over several times just to charge it. so maybe a small lithium battery it is.
BUT...for now, i was planning on triggering the solenoid with just a 9V source, and an Arduino platform, which is just a microprocessor i have some experience with. Reason i'll be using the arduino is for some other sensors on the bike, IAT, MAF, coolant temps, crank position, ect. so having a switch tied into that circuit would be easy.
@ylwgtr, where'd you mount yours at? the solenoid is a bit larger than it seems in the pictures, so i'm trying to think about the best place to mount it right now.
ylwgtr:
how much room you got around the rear?This is where I put it
jBernard:
badass!!! i know the harleys vent the bypass right into the exhaust valve outlet. would be pretty cool to do that somehow, but really nowhere to put it to pull that off.
