So, I wanna power some accessories via a power plate that will only get power when the bike is on... mostly my GPS and possibly power source for heated gear.
Using this diagram as a start (which I got from a previous thread... thanks to whomever made it)
here are my questions...
1... source of power what can I use?
2.... let's say I use the line feeding power to the license plate light... that's an easy one for me becasue I just switched to a Shaynes sidemount so it's kinda free.
3. I am essentially going to cut that line, and install on the end of the wire tracing back to the bike electronics a female receptacle that will fit on the relay at 86S.
4. I am then going to install on the line tracing out to the light another female receptacle that will fit on the relay at 30H.
5. The relay will need to be grounded so I take a spare piece of wire, put a female receptacle that will fit on the relay at 85 and ground it somewhere on the bike.
6. Finally, I place a line going from the power plate and attach it like the others at 87B.
What I"ll have is a power source for things like a cigarrette lighter power plug and power for a GPS unit...
Fuses in the power plate... I'm using the one that you get from DLP... is a 15 amp fuse good enough for a lighter and for a GPS...
Please tell me where I'm wrong...
And also, please tell me if there is a better source of key/ignition power in the area under the seat or in that vicinity...
Thanks!
