PMR Barswitches

Has anyone tried these PMR barswitches?

I'm considering one for my CBR, but am not sure if the the Ninja's bars are the proper diameter to fit them without modifications. They're pretty sweet looking. I'm considering using the double-switch unit, with one being an on/off/on switch to control power to my two different GPS power leads (one is for Garmin, other a USB outlet), and the other an on/off switch as a trigger to control a channel on my new awesome PDM60 (thanks @Alex for the tip about the PDM60).

I'm also considering this one. If it needed to be modified for the Ninja, it looks easier to do than the first one. I'm considering wiring my garage door opener to this, and ditching the DIY trigger relay I have taking up space in my trunk.

PMR stuff is nice! I mounted up one of their kill switches to the r1, since I disabled the lean angle sensor.

Whoa, those are cool! I can easily see that as a switch for some aux lighting.

^Nice Kill switch, BTW. ^

I just measured the bars on my Ninjette (2008), and they are 7/8", which means it will probably work on the Ninja too. The bracket on the left lever on my '08, is oddly oriented, so it may not work right on the left side, which is the ideal location.

They do, however, sell a mounting adapter if you don't want to mount directly to the lever clamp, but it's another $40.

One thing that isn't clear in the PMR pictures is the switch housing is open in the back, so good cable management is important.

Those look really nice. Like to the point where I want to install something that needs a switch so I could use one.

However, they seem to be designed to replace the front half of a clutch lever clamp (they specifically mention hydraulic clutches). From what I can tell, the 300 has a top/bottom clamp rather than a front/back.

Random Google pic



The 500 perch that a lot of people switch to for adjustable levers has the front/back style though.


I just went out and measured mine, and it uses the 36mm spacing like the 600/636, if anyone's considering this.

Looks very neat and OEM style, but alas it won't bolt on a PreGen.

Part # 13091



But will it work on the right side for part # 43034?

I sold some stuff on ebay to justify such an unnecessary, but awesome luxury. These would be unreasonably expensive if they were mass produced commercially, but since they come from a small machine shop in California the price actually seems about right.

The model is my 2014 CBR500r, and as of this post I don't have the bike fully back together yet, but the switches are mounted and wires run.

The PM-50 is intended to replace the front clamp on the clutch lever, so no extra real estate is needed on the bar itself. However, the Ninjette uses a different style of clamp, so as mentioned before this WILL work on the Ninjette with the additional PM-78B Black Barclamp ($40).

The PM-390S only needs about 5mm between the grip and switch-pod, and the grip was pretty easy to manipulate to make the necessary space. I added blue loctite to the little screws on the thumbswitch.



Front view: PM-50 (double barswitch - $80) & PM-390S (Thumbswitch - $100)






Here's the back of the switches (the barswitch is open in back). I used shrink-wrap, tubing, and zip-ties to clean it up. I MAY also switch to flag connectors on the barswitch, and shoot some silicon in there to seal it.








The left switch is currently wired as a trigger for my PDM-60 power distribution thingy. Initially I'm going to program it to switch aux power to GPS/USB supplies. The right switch is for the future, but I'd like to have it control a dash-cam system. Alternatively I may use it to turn my aux lights off, but I really don't need to turn them off. I guess I'm just a control freak, LOL.










The Thumbswitch comes with a momentary switch that I wired directly to my garage door opener (GDO). It has a very firm, satisfying, positive click to it. I didn't need to do this, but I wanted to save space under my pillion seat by ditching the DIY relay box I had previously wired to my GDO. This allowed me to also relocate the GDO to a spot that I wouldn't otherwise utilize (held in place with velcro. The picture doesn't show it, but there is a quick connect on the GDO, so I can remove it easily and throw it in my pocket).
