Switched power

[john_aero]

Where is handiest place get switched power for gps, heatd grips and 12v socket?

although you could take it from the switched side of the ignition switch i think the heated grips would draw a bit to much power to risk wiring without a relay.
better to make up a fused auxilary harness via a relay.if i remember correctly you can pick up a switched feed from the fuse box on the r/h/s under the fake tank side panel

I used the spare plug on the rear subframe for a switched live, Fed into a relayfrom the battery. Running 2x 30watt LEDs and sat nav no problem, did have to earth the otherside of the relay coil directly to earth though.

Was wondering what that plug at rear even did

Off topic slightly

I just fitted a PDM60 from Nippy Normans to fuse and power all my aux needs including spots. Goodbye to all relays. Read up on it on their site or over at Rowe Electronics. Worth every penny.

i have used similar in past but cant afford it so will just add a relay and make it up as think relay is only 5 euro

GPS power came from the rather useless rear socket. For my new auxiliary socket I went straight to the battery and ran a new circuit. I used a marine plug with an inline switch so the power is cut when i don't need it. It's also a normal car size so it fits everything. This has a huge benefit in that I can jump-start the bike directly off the accessory socket. I've never had to but I did have to jump another bike and just rigged a pair of cables directly to a plug and it worked a treat.
I would think carefully about heated switches. They fitted a smaller generator on these and they don't put out a lot of power. It pays to be frugal in that area and if you do use it, switch your dash over to voltage and keep your eye on it.

Power socket is stock car style that will be in tank bag. Have few toggle switches so might fit one as you did.

Must loot at grips as dont plan fit lot elec to bikes
