Installing a power outlet with relay and need to tap into switched power. Suggestions of where to tap in? Looking under the tank there are all kinds of wires but they all look the same to this guy. Thanks for any suggestions.

Power will be from the positive terminal of your battery.
Relay coil will be the red with a white tracer wire coming from the relay on top of your battery.

Do you need pinout hookup for the relay or are you okay with that part?


I'm back.......Here's a diagram. :) So the green wire can be the red with white tracer or like Ade (AGF) said the tail light/running light wire. Running light wire is blue.

If you use the tail light feed as your primary switched power source and run your relay straight to the battery you should be right,
Not sure of the colour wire (brown I think??)
I'll look it up but Cliff (Motogiro) might chime in b4 I get back to you

edit
I took the following from the Healtech install guide to prompt my memory hope it helps
it confirms the wire colour:

Connect the GIpro
Red wire to a switched +12V wire, e.g. to the rear brake light
switch, located under the fuel tank (2-pole brown or black connector,Brown wire)

When I tapped into this wire it was brown but it could be that it is differnt for a faired bike compared to a naked(mine) and also the year and region could mean mine was brown and not blue as Cliff said.
I'm sure you can trace it back to the tail light and confirm what is going to suit your install.
good luck with it and let us all know how you get on
