I just bought a cigarette power outlet, I can hook it up directly to the battery for an always-on power source but I don't want to do that in case I forget to disconnect something and drain my battery.
With my last bike, I installed a switched power source like this: I connected the black wire to the negative battery terminal and connected the red wire to a tap-a-fuse which I plugged into one of the fuses and then I had a switched power source. I was about to do the same with this bike, but I realized that this bike actually uses low profile mini fuses instead of regular mini fuses so my tap-a-fuse would not work. In addition, I would not be able to close the fuse box cover with a tap-a-fuse attached.
Just looking for ideas on how to install a switched power source.
