Oh, a warning. The included wiring diagram is wrong. I can tell you how to connect it if you decide to get one and the error is not obvious.

Just to make sure I'm clear (probably for my own clarification, but just double checking I guess)-

I would have the following wires going to the relay
12V
Ground
To Accessory Component wire
Wire from Remote Starter

The relay would be normally open. Then if I wire it correctly, I push the button on my remote triggering the relay to close and the relay stays closed even though it is not receiving a continuous signal from the control unit. Then I push the same button again and it triggers the relay to open.

Does that sound about right?

The picture of the relay you show has 5 terminals, would one be left empty?

Thanks Matt!

What year is your shovelhead? My best friend has a 78. His dad bought it new when he was a Harley mechanic then passed it on to him when his dad bought a new one. Now it pretty much sits as he bought a V-rod in 2006.
