First off,my hat goes off to the Rockmeister!!!.....there is no one who is better to deal with or more helpful anywhere then him,you truly are a great guy and a huge benefit to this site and all of us yammie owners OWE you alot for making a kick butt system to warm our hands,when it took yammie 4 yrs or MORE to even try.
the purpose of this thread is to show my custom install on the apex/attack model. As many of you know i tend to take my sled apart all the time,and with 'ROCKS' plug and go play yamaheater i wanted to be able to get my parts off as fast as before without having to remove the switch or LED light. so for those of you getting ready to install a yamaheater on apex,this might be of interest.

SWITCH LOCATION
I felt that the switch was something I would NOT need to be using 99% of the time,since the switch is really only to TURN OFF HEATERS 100% which i would never do except maybe on a really hot spring ride. I still wanted to be able to get at it so i didnt want to bury it underneath like some guys have done. So i found a nice spot for it where it can be turned on/off while stopped.(thru the left side vent) This way the switch does not get in the way for removing any of my panels,yet still i can use it if a warm day came when i wanted to turn heaters off 100%.
I drilled a hole and mounted the switch on the steel headlight bracket on clutch side of sled(must remove the pod/shield) this pic is from above with headlight and gauge pod removed,looking downward you can see the backside of switch and all the wiring for yamaheater ziptied
Switch from front side
Notice RED switch & Yamaheater Unit ziptied in place above my Ignition module
the switch is accessible from the vent on left side.
LED LIGHT LOCATION
My theory was to mount the LED light in a location where it did not have to be removed when i wanted to remove my panels. so I mounted the LED light on the handlebar pad,i think it worked out awesome. I did not have to lengthen the wire at all,I did wrap it in black sleeve so it looked better coming up front of the bar riser.
LED light in PAD
LED RED FULL POWER-HI(notice ZERO BARS on Gauge POD)
LED GREEN Standard Bar heater mode(notice bars on gauge pod)
