We all need it.. and I don't know why don't they (Yamaha) install these on all of their bikes. FJR has it. Anyway this is how I did it. You really don't need to use wire this thick, it cannot hurt, but it's not necessary. I had it laying around so I used it, plus I bought a fuse holder that was mounted on the same type of wire so I just went with it...
This is what you need:
And this is how it's done:
Since this cable is too thick it had to be soldered, but that's better than cramping anyway.
Heatshrink is important, and it tidies things up.
That's it!
Look for this socket at your local marine supply store, it needs to be water tight. Don't buy the ones made for cars. This one also has a fuse and a small green LED. I'll be able to charge my cell phone on a trip or plug my GPS in it.
All I have to do now is to figure out where to put it. I think it'll go by the ignition lock.
