So sometime over the winter I plan on adding some electrical goodies to the bike. I’m thinking heated grips, an LED voltmeter, and a 12v outlet. I’m thinking I’d mount these on the inner fairing. They would all be fused and switched with a relay. I’m trying to plan out my wiring, and where it would make sense to locate the fusebox and relay.
Would it be better to run wires from the battery, back to a fusebox and a relay under the seat, and then the accessory wires run from there up along the frame to the inner fairing? This way, to replace a fuse or relay, I just have to lift the seat.
But this first way would have a lot of wire running back and forth. I could mount the fuses and relay near the battery, save the amount of wire needing to run, but then it’s harder to access them. Thoughts?
