2011 very different than 2012, I too would like to see photo's of how everyone is mounting them on the 2012's.

this is where Steve from T&T Powersports mounted mine. I don't have any PICs of the Wiring part of it and don't ask me to dash out and get you some. LOL. If I remember I will snap some when I do my straight pipe and hard tube install. Taking that cowel off is a real PITA and a bigger one to bet it back on.

The instructions give you the color of wire you are interupting. The instructions say to pull and replace a pin in the main harness, but most will find that next to impossible. At our dealership we solder on that wire before and after the connection in the main harness to "t" in the tether. Around a half hour job.

I installed one on my m1100 and yes the instructions were helpful but not all the steps were needed. I found that installing the plug according to the drawings was not a good place. It would catch on the side of the vent and possible wrecking the vent if you were to pull straight to the left. I lowered mine and put to the left of the fuel cap. Lots of room and nothing to obstuct it when unplugging.

Has anyone else had a problem with installing the tether. Installed two on our proclimbs and neither one worked. Maybe im more colorblind than I thought!

Shouldnt have to solder wires on this. Once you pull the inside of the plug back with some pliers, insert a small pin or paperclip into the hole for the wire you want to remove and gently pull on the wire to get out. I used a torch tip cleaner to insert into ours.

I can't get the pin out of the harness? How do I do this? A paper clip or pin in the hole, I will see if I can figure that out.

I ordered the one from cat and didn't have to remove any pins it was simply unplug the harness from the key and plug in the tether then plug the original harness into the tether

Different one that I got from Cat. You have to pull a wire from the harness and replace it with one for the tether which adds it to the electrical loop. Weird.

It does the exact same thing as the old ones used to do. It splices into the kill swich system instead of the key wiring. It is different because there is no longer a 2prong plug at the key. I put one on my 2012 M8 and i didnt find it very hard once i fully read instructions and understood how they were making it work.
