Hi All

Where is the best place to get a switched live to power my sat nav?

How would it be done? (Elictrical Idiot here)

Handlebar brake switch on the front brake lever. But only if the Satnav uses under 1Amp of current (check on the label).

The pilot lamp in the front fairing is switched too.

If the satnav is going to take more than 1Amp then you might be better off running a proper switched live from the battery

Otherwise run a new switched feed from the battery, via a relay operated by an existing switched live, such as for the rear lights or rear brake switch

900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

I got this from the RE Himalayan forum and installed one on my niner. I am not great electrically, but it was fairly straightforward. I intend adding DRLs and heated grips, so can add them easily.
