THE M-UNIT:
The m-Unit has revolutionized vintage motorcycle restoration/repair and there is absolutely nothing available on the market better at doing what it does.
To describe the m-Unit as fuse block replacement is an oversimplification, it is a solid state power distribution module, digital micro-controller for the vehicle. If you have previous experience with motorcycle electrical wiring this module is a paradigm shift away from everything you know of OEM electrical systems. For example; if an OEM switch can be likened to a light switch that completes a circuit when closed a button or switch connected to an m-Unit would be like a key on a keyboard which sends a signal to the computer that interprets that signal and activates the corresponding function. When pressed,the switches complete a ground that is interpreted by the m-unit which activates the appropriate accessory.
There are two versions of the m-Unit, the m-Unit Blue which incorporates Bluetooth functionality to provide a number of convenient features, alternatively the m-Unit Basic provides all of the core functions without all of the wireless Bluetooth capability.
Here is a link to the m-Unit Blue and Basic manual and another to the discontinued m-Unit V.2. Indispensable when combined with CRTL+F for searching out specific questions.
