I hate the stock maxi controls. They look dumb and rust out easy (in my opinion). I am going to remove them permanently. I plan on hard wiring the lights and re-locate the kill-switch by the engine (the horn is already non functioning and will remain off as well).
Here we go.
Check out the cobwebs in this thing... Note the wire colors for the lights and horn for future.
There are 2 wires on each brake lever for brake lights. Remove them.
The other control (kill-switch) is brown and black.
Note the ground point for the kill-switch, and the horn.
Time to crack open the light. 2 bolts on either side will release it.
Once it is off the frame, take a small flat head screwdriver and pop the rear panel off the light (pretty easy).
2 yellow/black wires and a ground. They are connected with spade terminals. Pop 'em off and set the light aside.
Next is the speedometer assembly. There is another black/yellow wire for a light in the speedo housing and brown for ground.
Find the speedo cable on the front wheel and unscrew it.
Speedo pops open the same way as the headlight.
Remove the connections. I left the speedo cable hooked up to the speedo so I wouldn't lose it.
Remove the ground points from the frame.
This is the mount for the speedo. Remove it as well.
