Got the switch plate in and installed

XTC Power Products Center Console Switch Plate for Honda Talon 1000 SP-6SW-HT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TLHC3GS/?tag=sxsweb24-20

After running cable from the rear for the winch and dual battery, I found that Honda had already done that. They even ended right by my battery isolator :rolleyes:

The front winch has an in cab switch already and I was thinking about how I could have that same switch run front or rear with a selector switch.

I'd like to have the sector switch be a 3 way with off in the middle also. Right now the switch is live with the key, which I'm not to fond of, since I have young kids that like to switch switches and press buttons. I did a momentary switch for the seltor switch also. That way there is a little safety built in.

This is how I did the wiring for the selector:

In | out (front)
In | out (to switch)
In | out (rear)

Control switch:

In (from selector)
Power
Out (from selector)

I know I could just add another switch and it'd be the same thing, but like I said, I'd like to add the little safer feature in of having an all off position.

This will be front winch in

Rear winch in

I'm sure you can imagine how out works.

I also added a good old fashioned plug for the rear

I also worked on sealing some of the air gaps in the firewall with some foam in the cowel space. As well as added the rear vents and ducting for the heater.

Well I made the floor mats today. Pretty straight forward, took rough measurements, made cardboard mockups, trimmed to fit, then traced onto the rubber. I guess it was actually work out equipment mat.

Came out pretty good, the stuff was pretty easy to work with. I just used some heavy duty scissors. The backs looked easy at first, but they were more parallelogram than square.

Nice work, do they cover some of the holes in the floorboard?

It’s not required for wiper kit.

This is a Switchpro 9100,with the Switchpro RCR12 you would only need the winch switch to run everything in the Talon.

the Talon wiper/washer doesn’t ever require a relay like the pioneer version. So it’s even easier. View attachment 175074
I just bought a cheap knockoff of the switch pro. Is the Switch Pro switch panel water proof? I doubt the one I have is. I like how you've mounted yours. Maybe I could to something similar and unplug and remove the switch panel when cleaning....

It was my next door neighbors Talon actually, he is a Vet with a TBI so I do stuff on his vehicles that requires fine motor control and he lets me use his tractor really works out more in my favor.

I’m going to buy the RCR-12 once it’s available and rewire my 1000-5.

Yes, on the inner ones by the console, which were where the water was spraying in, I left about a 1" flap to cover them. I had to cut the bottom to get it to bend up.
