7) a relay. Be fussed about accessories being ignition controlled. Its worth fitting an ignition controlled relay as this makes it a doddle for fitting other electrical things later like heated grips/clothing. Get a 5 pin and you'll also have a separate 12v feed when the ignition is off, should you ever need it for things like a flashing red LED ( faux alarm/immobiliser warning )
I'm right out of Rites, no call for them any more and sent them back. Hold on, I might have an old one under the desk... -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a Every post contains Nutri-Ceramide-R and Pre-Biotics for your reading pleasure.

This is how I did it. I also have a powerlet outlet on the left top of the fairing to power whatever else I need. http://homepage.mac.com/mike.bothe/PhotoAlbum30.html

I can see it's eaier to wire straight to the battery but presumably a "better" job would be done if it were linked into one of the circuits that was live only when the ignition was switched on - for example using a scotchblock connector? Anyway off to Maplins for "stuff". -- jeremy '01 Triumph Sprint ST in green _______________________________________ jeremy0505 at gmail.com

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Jeremy Do not, I repeat DO NOT use Scotchlocks. If you want to wire into a switched circuit you'll need a relay (as already pointed out). -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Yamaha GTS1000
Did you really just use "better job" & "scotchblock" in the same sentence? I think you did, didn't you. -- Krusty. http://www.muddystuff.co.uk http://www.muddystuff.us Off-road classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger (FOYRNB) '96 Tiger '79 Fantic 250
Yes. I did. <looks embarassed> I think some more knowledge may be required here. -- jeremy '01 Triumph Sprint ST in green _______________________________________ jeremy0505 at gmail.com
Buggrit. Trouble is the 12v -> 5v transformer for the PDA draws current as soon as it is plugged into the socket so I don't really want it live all the time. The real problem is that I don't know what a relay is. There, I have said it. Having a look now around google seems to suggest that it may be a team running event, but I am sure that's not what you meant. OK so it's an electrically controlled switch of some kind. What spec do I need and how would I wire it in? Just returned from Maplins with a bag of bits and pieces to do the job and now it looks like I'll have to go out again later -- jeremy '01 Triumph Sprint ST in green _______________________________________ jeremy0505 at gmail.com
