Author Message   Maxbuell Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 10:20 am:        I can not find a supplier any where. Can these diodes be bypassed? They are for safety interlock switches right ?   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 12:55 pm:        Is your current one really dead? Most "big" diodes will do. The big switching ones they have at radio shack would work fine. For polarity, ->|- is the symbol, and the white line on the black doide will be on one side, the "arrow" would point to that line.   Sleez Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 01:01 pm:        vintage parts shows 2 of these kits in stock; 89404-97Y DIODE REPLACEMENT KIT not sure what it contains??? you should be able to order through any HD dealer.   Sleez Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 01:02 pm:        Latus as well; http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com/DIODE-REPLACE MENT-KIT.htm   Maxbuell Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 01:32 pm:        Thank You for the info Sleez!   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 02:21 pm:        If it is handling less than 30 watts of load on a 12 volt system, this should work fine: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?produc tId=2062577&filterName=Type&filterValue=Diodes Basically, walk into the store and get the biggest silicone switching diode they stock. Do NOT get a zeener. Trim the leads and stuff it right on the slot if you are in a pinch, but better to solder it onto an old fuse or the old diode "plug" thingy.   Kevmean Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 02:39 pm:        Aren't they just standard automotive type diodes ? http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/848/ category/123   Maxbuell Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 04:46 pm:        Found a supplier just not in the USA. Durite 0-372-00 diode mini blade. Never thought it would be such a pain getting a diode.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 05:12 pm:        Your diodes are probably not dead. I vote kickstand switch. Those thinks are just great for collecting water. When I ripped mine off after jumping the wire, water poured out of it and it hadn't rained in over a week. Worthless "safety feature". One other fun area of "my #@%# bike won't start" is the fuse box itself. take each fuse out, clean the contacts and zap it with a little WD40. On my X1, the seat covered the fuses and I thought it was kept dry. WRONG. corrosion creeps in from underneath. Don't spend money unless you have to!   Sleez Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 05:50 pm:        http://www.evsource.com/tls_diodes.php   Coxster Posted on Friday, October 26, 2012 - 08:32 pm:        a typical diode 1N4001 will carry one amp of current at 50 max reverse volts ( Peak Inverse Voltage, or PIV ) No real magic in diodes, and my kickstand switch is bypassed ; )   Buell_bert Posted on Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 01:21 am:        I do believe I have a bunch of diodes I bought a few years ago.
