Manufacturers of motorcycles pay great attention to most of the systems on the machines they design. Engines, fuel systems, cooling, braking, air flow, handling, style, etc. but all too often, one or more of the most critical systems of these machines is minimally designed and then left un-monitored as if it would never fail. On the Honda Goldwing (and many others), it is the electrical system that is the weak area. All systems fail eventually, often at the worst of times. The usual owner reaction to this is to try to build confidence by adding this or that to the machine. Owners purchase and install what they need and often live without some of the features they would like to have . This makes sense, but all these devices add a lot of clutter and can cause wiring problems if not installed properly. As it turns out, on the Honda Goldwing, there are many sensors and switches used to feed information to the various internal systems to make the machine work properly. Most of that information is not used to assist the rider to have a safer and more pleasant experience. |

May, 2009 - by Dean Evans
- NorthAmericanGoldwings.com newsletter excerpt -> NAGF_SmartLight_review.pdf |

Here, Dean provides the
first published review of SmartLight and comes up with a great idea for
mounting the LED as well. His description of the 2nd gear blink
pattern is a little off (but close enough). He also references a
short video he made to show the dash postion he chose for mounting and
the look of the LED blinking while in the dash. I have provided a
link to his demonstration video below showing the "armed mode" when the
ignition is off.. Bear in mind the blink is not exactly as shown
because his camera can't recover fast enough when the LED goes from on
to off so it looks like it is not fast, but it actually is.

| Chris narrates his own installation
and demonstrates features of the Smartlight Gearhead series. This
is a great way to see what the product does and how it helps you well
before any voltmeter would be able to notify you. It demonstrates how
your bike's electrical charging profile has the means to teach you what
is normal in your system and when it is not. Also this
demonstrates the different function of the 2nd gear light on the
1988-1989 year Goldwings. Demo Videohis
