Thanks for the kind words. Most of the shipping speed is courtesy of the USPS.  ;)

The bypass only bypasses the activation switch, there is no practical (read: financially viable) way to bypass KiPass itself. The bike still needs a valid fob w/in range, either through the RF portion and a few feet away or by using the RFID portion which is inside the ignition switch housing. The bypass harness cannot be used to start any C-14 without a valid fob in range so it could not be used, for example, to steal a C-14 or start one that had already been stolen. Not to suggest anyone bought one for that purpose of course, I am merely pointing out that there is absolutely no risk that my bypass can be used in any illicit way on anyone's C-14.

I would guess ( not having installed mine yet) that you could take the FOB far away like it was dead and use the bypass to get her running...

PS received mine today lightening fast shipping. Thanks

 Thanks Brian for making this by-pass available.
 Mine arrived and I installed it within a short time, thanks to your thorough instructions.
 I hope I never have to use it on my 2011 Black Concourse.

Sent an e-mail... definitely want one.  Nice solution to a potetially VERY big problem.  KIPASS adds no convenience or value, yet creates a huge single point of failure.  <shakes head>.

There is apparently some confusion- some folks think they have 'ordered' a harness by voting in this poll. Unfortunately it does not work that way- the poll is not mine and I
have no idea or way to tell who voted. If anyone wants a harness that person should e-mail me directly.

My e-mail is the envelope icon directly under my avatar to the left of the screen.

To those who have already purchased a harness, thanks for buying them and, of course, thanks for the kind words about the harnesses.

Really? Some folks thought that they placed an order just by voting? Maybe those guys should park their bikes for a while. I think that the Connie might be too complicated for them, all those buttons and such, it's very confusing.    ::)

Wow Conrad, are you really that cranky about the post or did the dog wet the carpet just before you stared typing?  ;D

I don't think they thought they actually placed the order but perhaps they thought they were beginning the process of buying one. I assume they thought they would be contacted, which is not really unreasonable if we assume it was my poll, and I had access to the voting list.  It is no big deal either way other than those folks who thought something should have happened before now.

a quick scan of Fred's video for removal, and that was an easy install.

Is there an easy way of re-popping those push rivets?  I got it from the backside, but felt like I was going to pierce my fingertip....

Yep, those rivets are reusable.

To remove, push the center pin down about 1/8" below the rivet head height and the rivet will release.

To install, push the center pin out of the rivet body toward the direction of the rivet head (it will not continue down through the rivet body). Make sure the rivet petals are collapsed and install the rivet body, followed by installing the rivet pin until it is flush with the rivet head.

Some people just pull the rivet pin out of the body until it is about 1/8" above the rivet head (but still in the rivet) but I have not always been successful with that- removing the pin entirely makes reassembly easy.

I would not feel dumb if I were you- those rivets are NOT self explanatory or intuitive. I didn't figure it out myself either, I picked it up somewhere; trust me, I would have pried them out and wiped out the rivet and possibly the plastic panels they held together if left to my own devices.

By the way, I took the coward's way out and cut the brake line guides off of the front fender. My thought was $6 or $8 per wheel removal would be worth it after playing with them for 20 minutes. Turns out you do not even need them.
