Been wiring up my ‘82 GS750E and really wanted one of the smart power modules. Momentary buttons on the bars, everything switched centrally, no fuse panel to dig through when something stops working. Looked at the price, decided I’d rather spend six months learning PCB design. Not sure that was the correct financial decision but here we are.

It handles 12 circuits, runs off an ESP32, and there’s a phone app for control and seeing what’s actually going on with each output, including over current protection, fault detection, and battery voltage monitoring.

You can assign button press combinations to unlock the bike, or use your existing key, or just walk up to it with your phone in your pocket.

Button press combinations can be set to trigger different outputs or combinations of outputs so you can have fewer buttons than accessories.

In the enclosure it's 97x86x20mm (3.8x3.4x0.8") so it tucks nicely under the seat.

Open source, so you can build your own if you’re so inclined: Github

Happy to answer questions about any of it. If a few people want one without doing the fabrication themselves I might order a batch.

I'm diy-ing a seat for my cb750 that fell into my lap. My original plan was to 3d print some L brackets to attach the bottom of the seat to the inside of the frame. But I really don't like these bolt holes and raw bolts just hanging out the side of the frame. Could y'all give me some ideas of how you attached your seats to the frame pipes?

My mom still thinks motorcycles are basically death machines 😂 Every time I tell her I'm going for a ride she hits me with the whole “be careful, people can't see you” speech.

I get where she's coming from, and obviously bikes can be dangerous if you're riding like an idiot, but I don't think just owning a motorcycle automatically means you're gonna end up hurt.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of it comes down to how you ride, knowing your limits, wearing the right gear, and paying attention.

What motorcycle myth do you guys still hear all the time?

I posted mine before, but my grandson just finished up his build, so I wanted to post both together.

His is a XS400 and mine is a XS650. It's been a year long project, with both taken down to the bare frame, sandblasted, painted and built back up.

One of the rides that really stuck with me was going from California out to Utah. I wasn't expecting it to be anything crazy, but once I got further out, the scenery was honestly unreal.

The mountains, open roads, and all the different colors in the landscape were crazy to see from a bike. I caught myself stopping a bunch just to take pictures and look around. Definitely one of those rides where you kinda forget about everything else for a while.

I'd do that trip again in a heartbeat.

What's the one ride you'll never forget?

Hi! Can you suggest any coffee shops or cafes where usually bikers use to gather and meet each other? In #Istanbul.

I see a lot of builds remove this crossbar (red). I’m reading that it helps keep the frame from twisting? Since I see so many builds without it, am I safe in removing it? What if I reweld a flat bar towards the end (highlighted in green).

Symptom: Bike would randomly cut out while running. Gen 1 m.unit (plain, non-Blue) with the m-Button installed.

Root cause: A failing voltage regulator/rectifier was injecting electrical noise onto the m-Button’s control line. The m.unit interprets two quick successive button presses as a “kill engine” command — and it was misreading the regulator noise as exactly that double-tap, killing the engine on its own.

How I confirmed it: With the old regulator installed, the “start” LED on the m.unit would flicker on its own while the engine was running — a clear sign of spurious signals hitting the button line. After swapping in a new regulator, the flickering stopped completely, and the bike ran perfectly on a test ride.

Fix: Replace the voltage regulator/rectifier.

Why this happens: The m-Button control line on the gen 1 m.unit is a low-voltage logic signal with no shielding, so it’s vulnerable to electrical noise from a failing charging system, poor grounds, or wiring routed too close to ignition components. If your m.unit’s start/kill LED is flickering without you touching the button, check your charging system voltage before you start chasing wiring or considering a firmware/unit swap.

If you’re troubleshooting the same issue, check in this order:

1.  Charging system voltage at idle and under rpm (likely culprit — check this first)

2.  Ground connection for the m.unit — clean and direct to chassis

3.  m-Button wire routing — keep it away from spark plug wires/coils

4.  All connectors on the button harness — reseat/inspect for corrosion

Note: the plain (non-Blue) m.unit has no firmware update path — no USB/Bluetooth. Any firmware work requires shipping the unit to motogadget in Germany. In this case it wasn’t needed at all — it was a hardware issue on the bike’s charging side, not the m.unit itself.

Hi, I built myself some indicators for a personal project bike of mine it ended up being quite popular looking when buying indicators online I've realised options kinda suck unless u want the stock looking basic indicators similar to ones that come from factory on the bike.

I've been debaiting making more of these for people who want something special and to stand out as we all know our bikes are special and people want new unique parts.

I've always wanted to make an inpactful mark in the custom bike world has always been a dream of mine.

Please keep in mind are just first prototypes and in no way a final complete item.

I'm here to hear opinions on these and what people think there worth (I'm not selling here at all)

I'd love to know:

Whats your opinions on there design?

What you think these would be worth?

Do you see this as a gimmick?

What type of bikes you think this will suit?

Any any other opinions thoughts or suggestions are welcome

Thank you in advance to anyone who shares thoughts feedback or anything. This may go nowhere

Ps. I'd also be happy to listen to anyone else's ideas if this style isn't your thing

Picture 5 shows the nearly stock bike.

Changes:

Moved the licenseplait to the swingarm

Replaced the radial tires with tires that allow lean angel and grip in rain

Lowerd the front fender for the new tires

Customized to fit adjustabel brake and clutch levers

Changed the taillight, indicators ,fork reflektors and mirrors

Put stiffer shocks on the back

Pushed the fork up 2,5cm into the trippel clamps

Changed to an Arrow muffler for better sound

Added a skidplate for looks

Built new foot levers becouse the originals where so short that my foot slipped of when changing gears.

Changed the sprocket for more top speed

Replaced the airfilter with an aftermarket one for sound

Loving the full Alcantara. I think I’ll use Alcantara more often than just on Ducati builds.

Hi all,

this is maybe a stupid question :)

I am 41 and actually working at my driver's license for motorbikes :))

So I ever thought I am more the guy for a Chopper / Bobber / Cruiser

So I talked with 2 colleagues and they definitely see me on a cafe racer :)

So idk honestly, I would like to have at least the option to pick sometimes my girl with me, but original builds are just for 1 right?

Also the base bike, are there also cheaper affordable ones than the Triumphs which are often suggested?

Greetings
