I am getting ready to add some electrical wiring to the bike but I had a few questions . I currently have a fuse block under the seat that is tied into a switched power source on the bike. From here on out when I say fuse block I will be referring to this.
Heated Gear: Is there any reason not to wire my heated jacket and gloves directly to the battery with the provided harness and inline fuse Or should this be ran through the fuse block?
Cigarette lighter charger and USB port: My thought is to run this straight from the battery with an inline fuse so I can charge items with the bike off, any reason not to? Is 14 G wire and a 15 amp fuse enough for the cigarette adapter. It will be used for things like phone charging, radar detector, and slime air compressor
GPS Harness: My thought was to run this through the fuse block.
Datel Volt meter: The meter will be used to tell me I am still charging the battery when I have accessories on, nothing more. I read about not putting it on a switch, put it as close to the battery as possible, no fuse, don’t tie into this or that because the reading won’t be correct and while other people run it off the horn. Is powering the meter off my fuse block (powered by my tail light) really going to show significant difference than if I run it off the batter directly with a switch and a fuse? Also is a 14 ga wire fine?
