What's with all the extraneous music?

I now have a ZZR600 which I've cleverly hid the socket into the little compartment in the fairing. Although the socket only runs with the ignition on so I don't drain the battery, I need to hard wire it into the loom, thus using minimal wiring as I am running one wire off the fuse box and the negative directly off an earthing point. It still does as intended, but more wire is being used and doesn't look as professional. I have high standards, mainly from my engineering background!

I did a rather good one with a GS500. My GS500 was a US import and was the model without a side light but still had the connector for it. With the 12v socket, I soldered one wire to a wire on the ignition switch and then soldered a bullet connector to the other wire on the socket. I then connected the bullet connector to the loom negative connector which would have otherwise been for the side light and used minimal wiring. The socket only worked with the ignition on which what was intended.

@thercstuff I broke down and bought a RAM mount, it replaces one of the handlebar clamp bolts. Works like you read about.

what kind of GPS is that?
raulibarra3 1 month ago in playlist More videos from KLRPilot
@raulibarra3 Lorance XOG. I paid $130 at a local walmart. The XOGs are not made anymore, so you may want to check out eBay.

Why didn't you just sink it into the fairing like everyone else?

How come you need an inline fuse, does your cigerette lighter charger for the gps not have a fuse in it???

@u2lova The fuse is in the male end of the cig lighter cable, I had to cut that off to hard wire it to the bike.
