| Hi,
Is it possible to buy the "other end" of this plug anywhere? I have a new bike and would rather not cut or splice in. Is it a standard connector?
Thanks | |

| Try your local automotive wiring sales place or use 2 female single plugs. | |

| Cheers bud. Is there an idiots wiring diagram anywhere for wiring these things up with a handlebar switch? Is it easier to ignore aux connector and go direct to battery?
Many thanks | |

| The auxillary connector is only live when the ignition is switched on. As for a wiring diagram try downloading the owners manual which can be found in the forum items listings or look in electrical items for a detailed write up on doing the work ok? | |

| Thanks for reply, I am not looking for a general wiring diagram, just a diagram to wire up after market spotlights. I have done a search and can find plenty of information on the hardware side but nothing on wiring them up. From what I can make out I can use the aux connector in the headlight shell as a relay trigger and I think I will still need to run a supply from the battery also, just don't want to get it wrong.
Cheers. | |

| If you look through the electrical threads I'm sure you will find some help there or try to contact V-Twin or Sim as they are more up in these things than myself. | |

| If i remember correctly the aux. supply is from a 10 Amps fuse. A spade connector of the correct size will push into it. Fit a correctly sized inline fuse if the 10 Amps is too much for you. | |

| From what I have read on this forum the aux connector is not man enough to power 2 x 55w spotlights. I was going to fit a relay powered directly from the battery and use the aux connector as the relay trigger. I am no auto electrician though so was looking for guidance as to the correct wiring procedure.

| If my maths is correct...2 lamps at 55 w = 110 watts
10 Amps at 12 volts = 120 watts
110 watts will draw approx. 9.2 Amps | |

| Yes, but the aux circuit has the bikes lights on it as well? | |

| No choice then, you will need another feed. | |

| As you say ...if you want a feed that goes on and off with the ignition then you need a relay and use the aux. supply ( or some other circuit that comes on with the ignition ) to operate the relay via a switch.
If you wanted something simpler you could just take a fused feed from the battery to a switch (that can take 10 Amps ) but if you leave them on you will have a flat battery.
Some people fit a 40A relay feeding a fuse bank to give them easy connections for other bits of kit they want to connect up ( heated grips etc. ) | |

| Love the idea of the second fuse bank, reckon I will go for that subject to having room to fit it. Nice idea yorky - Cheers! | |

| Have you seen this? I always used to use a 5 way fuse panel but came accross this while researching dual dash cams for bikes. I may use this on the new bike.
Well, I tried to post a link but I'm not allowed yet. Google INNOVV POWER SUPPLY HUB and have a look.
