i recommend you repair the tIre, but they are easy to fit really as long as you have space and electrical basic knowledge, one main pointer : ALWAYS FUSE EVERYTHING!! I find the lighter port very useful and comes in handy in strange situations ive just fitted a red illuminated switch into where the black switch was today, and also am going to fit another illuminated switch the other side, also am considering some other useful things on the switchboard, but im not sure what yet haha, perhaps a remote start button for my bike, jst for the point of it!
good for a electrick impct gun saves taking off the battery cover if its late and your doin roadside repairs also lights under the seat ar good for seeing what shit is in there steve
why not get a little digital rev counter put in, or a mini clock, them clocks on typh's are handy little things unk: Edit: i just remember ur control pannel is under ur seat :emb: :emb:
yeah its under my seat loll, its okay though, but limits some things, im also having a switch for my neons on my handle bars too, i already have a digital clock on my bike it so that would not be worthwhile. i think the best thing would be to put on things i actually use, like my fag lighter ha ha. perhaps a fag storage unit !! haha
today i got myself a fuse set some wire crimps for connecting to my battery properly and am ordering a blade fuse holder and i have decided to wire it similar to this...
solder a little strip of metal across the top of one side if there all having the same feed.. then its one wire in one side an cover the lot in apoxy/chemical metal/filler so it cant possible break off/earth out. 6 lives going into that is just pointless
TBH I'd stick all the neons/LEDs through the same fuse as they won't be using much power. And depending what you're gonna power off the lighter socket, you might wanna run it's own cable from the battery to the fuse
Get yourself a soldering iron and kit, crimping wires is too much hassle as even done properly there crap.
right, all that is in process, i am going to wait on my fuse box to arrive then decide when i take a look at how it all will go how im wiring it up i think. what fuse should i use for my cigarette lighter as different things use different amps, main uses will be phone charger, odd lights and the lighter. thanks for all ur help guys
got new neons and led's for my project today wired most of the switching and the lighter up now, but need to add my 2nd switch for neons and wire them through yet. new led's will be wired in a few mins, as others were crap. i have blue and red leds which colour/s should i use? pics:
okay, heres the end result, for now anyway i still plan on a handlebar switch for my lights etc pics: night pics to come soon! opinions? x
just been reading through and its pretty clever i have the same poppy out thing and wud never of thought about using that for a switch board. get some nite pics of those led bars cus if there any good i mite buy some
I like, tidy job. Ermmm whats the link for the blade fuse holder etc? I am going to do this for my Aerox. Trying to think of a good place to put it all though.
i had a big problem which i did not realise until the fitting of the project, the fusebox i originally planned did not fit in my battery compartment so i went for inline fuse holders, theyr just called 30a inline fuse holder in the car electronics section of maplins theyr 2 quid each, if however you want a fuse box like i originally planned theyr readily availible under "BLADE FUSE HOLDER" only problem ive had other than that is the amount of trouble you can cause urself with fiddling with wiring, if ur not happy with/good at wiring dont do it on ur own, but if u understand how it all works youll be fine get some more done and show me ur results
i have one of those fuse boxes already in my ped, if you screw off your battery cover its to the left. its only using one fuse so i supose i could use that for fuses
mine does too but acess is difficult to wire mine up so i couldnt be bothered with using it lol! the led strips will be used tonight and tested to see how good thy are, if theyr crap i give up haha
