Hi all
New to the forum, new to Yamaha - bought a 2009 Fazer 600 (abs, "S2" - in europe after all) a couple days ago.
On my last bike I had a garmin gps mounted, with a fuse-hijacker thing that took the 12V from the fusebox directly. I had a look at this method on the Fazer but the fuses are the mini ones, so I don't have the right hijacker piece.
I am not going to mount any hi-power stuff - just the Garmin - so no desire to do the whole relay / custom job that I see so many threads on.
What's the easiest place to hijack a 12V connection that's only on when ignition is on?
So far I see these as the two simplest possibilities:
1) buy a mini-fuse hijacker thing, do it the same way I did before on my last bike
2) get something like this H7 headlamp extension cable, and hijack directly at the right headlight. Problem here, is that the cable has no easy way onto the handle bars since they move, so it would probably have to run along back to the fuel tank and out with the others. Not so clean-looking I guess.
What's simplest, as defined by zero factory cables cut & only an hour or two?
cheers
