Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't see the last two posts until after I'd already given the tympanium a try. So here is what I found:

I wired it up, connected the battery and it immediatley blew the fuse coming off of the negative side of the battery. Something must be shorted out somewhere along the way.

The tympanium takes the zener diode out of the equation so I dont think it is/was the issue.

This isn't an OIF bike but I will take a look at the harness around the neck of the bike.

I encourage you to share any suggestions for me

Cheers!
