Hi, CT did a shopping list on this thread ...

Crap Tartan wrote: 10 years ago Thought I would put up a component list and fitting guide for anyone who wants to make their own "black box" or fit one I make for them.

Bits you will need;
Black box (enclosure) to fit the components into.

On/off two position switch.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121103951823? ... 666wt_1091

1.5Kohm potentiometer (variable resisitor) 0.5W will be more than enough.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120848318833? ... 1423.l2649

twin core cable, any type will do just about, very little current flow in this circuit. Around a metre is plenty.

two thin tiewraps to hold the box, thin enought to go through holes in box mounting.

two connectors to wire the black box into the ECT circuit, I use these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111104460879? ... 1497.l2649

Tools;
drill and suitable bits to make holes in box
soldering iron and solder to wire in components
sealant to waterproof box
pliers to close connectors on wiring and cut/strip wire

Components are wired in series with each other but in parallel to the ECT. If you dont understand ask me or find someone who does and they can wire it up for you!
I am happy to make these up for anyone if required.
The two wires are connected into the existing wiring that goes to the ECM at the back under the seat. Locate the frontmost plug into the ECM. Into that are a brown/black wire and a brown/purple wire (brown is the predominant colour).
Connect either of the two wires from the box to each one of those two colours. (Dont cut either of the brown wires, just connect using the connector inline with the existing circuit. Doesnt matter which way round they go (its only a resistance)
Start bike up with the switch in the off position (potentiometer not in circuit)
Switch to on and see jump in temp readout on display.
Potentiometer should be set to around 480 ohms, this can be fine tuned once fitted and you see what your temp readout is showing.

If confused by anything get in touch or try reading the whole of this thread. All the testing info is in there and should make it much clearer.
If that is not the case get a techy geek to do it for you.........................................

Might be worth sending a PM or email to CT to see if he has a stash?
