Auxillary Power Distribution
For auxillary power, I connected directly to the battery with 2 10 guage wires which are fused for 30A. I located a relay under the driver's seat pan. The relay's coil is connected to the tail's power. So when the tail light is on, the power from the battery is routed to Centech distribution box in the tail cone. when the bike is off, the battery is connection directly to a pigtail under the pillon which can either be connected to a charger or compressor.

Behind the left side cover, there is a white Molex connector which connects the harness going to the taillight assembly to the main buss. I disconnected this connector once I had marked the harness in the rear tray where I wanted to tap into the it. This gave me more slack in the harness to make the taps.

Here is the taillight harness coming through the rear tray with the sheath opened up getting ready to tap in.

I wanted to use Posi-taps to connect into the harness but there was not enough space for all 5 connections. So I used the tried and true "wrap and solder". I hate the "blue clip through" connectors as I have seen too many harness severally damaged.

Soldered and try to tape.

I added a buss bar in the rear so I could easily connect different accessories into the rear harness. Initially, I added the Kissan LED license plate holder. Since then I added the 3-way Hyperlites and Audiovox which need to connect to the harness. The buss bar is located in the center rear of the tray and held by double sided tape.

The volume of my MP3 player through the Autocom was a little low and was difficult to adjust using the MP3's volume control. I had heard of the AmpliRider on the fjrforum.com so I purchased one. Great service and assistance and works just fine!

This is the mount I made which holds the MP3 and the volume control for the AmpliRider
