Premium Member DavidS Posted October 23, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted October 23, 2018 I have a 2015 FJ09, and have slowly added a number of devices that require electrical power. (GPS, Heated Seat, etc.) I'm an electrical idiot, but I want to make sure I'm not overloading the capacity of the bike. I have seen the power hub's advertised to centralize the wiring in one place, as opposed to connecting everything to the battery terminals, but before I go buy something, I thought I would ask here to see what other folks are doing/using to solve this issue. Any advise or rules of thumb are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member piotrek Posted October 24, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted October 24, 2018 I created a list and decided that all I needed was a simple unswitched 3-circuit pod from Cycle Terminal. It easily tucks away under the seat and doesn't require any real estate for a box. This freed up precious space for an air pump. The 8-circuit fuse boxes are nice, but way too bulky IMO, and they're not splash-proof. My gadget list: [ul type=disc][*]Fog lamps - switched, auxiliary behind dash [*]Bar mounted USB pod - switched, in parallel (shared) with 12V Powerlet socket[*]GPS - switched, auxiliary behind dash[*]Cruise - per instructions (Y-adapter off run light I believe) [*]Fiamm horn - OE circuit [*]Oxford heated grips - unswitched (auto-off controller), 3-circuit pod (circuit 1) [*]Heated jacket - unswitched (heat controller) 3-circuit pod (circuit 2)[*]Battery tender / air pump / aux Powerlet port - unswitched, 3-circuit pod (circuit 3)[/ul] Lots of ideas out there, but this works for me very well. The only non-OE accounted loads that would run concurrently on the bike would be the jacket and the heated grips, so say 10-12A max. Not significant.
