Starter Cut-off relay

[leighd42]

Guy's forgive me if there is a thread already on here but I just can't seem to find the answer I am looking for. I have eliminated the stock harness and wired the bike up and everything is working great but I would like to add in a 12V normally closed relay to act as a starter cut-off relay and don't want to use the original bulky SR/LR unit from the stock '77 set-up. I tired a couple of generic relays but the 6V from the PMA is not enough voltage to energize the coil to open the circuit from the start button. Does anyone know of a cheap generic NC relay that works? I would eliminate the relay but when I let go of the start button it doesn't stop the ground to the starter solenoid fast enough and the starter continues turning for a second after the engine starts.

Thanks
Dave

How about something like this?

Thanks that should work!

The other thing I've read on the forum is that you can tap into one of the stator leads and go to a 12v relay or the stock safety relay but can't verify this. Have a look here.
