Wiring 101<br />

How do you take a good mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle and make it more useful, practical, and<br />

fun A number of answers work but one of the most common and least<br />

expensive ways is <strong>to</strong> add some electrical accessories.<br />

How about a power socket <strong>to</strong> charge y<strong>our</strong> cell phone Or a set of heated<br />

grips or grip covers <strong>to</strong> keep y<strong>our</strong> hands warm on cold rides Perhaps add<br />

some additional lighting for better vision and safety<br />

No matter what, if you choose <strong>to</strong> add additional wiring <strong>to</strong> y<strong>our</strong> bike, just<br />

be sure it’s done right. You don’t have <strong>to</strong> be a rocket scientist <strong>to</strong> do a good<br />

job. First, follow safe workshop practices. Then be certain all wiring is<br />

securely connected and protected from chafing, excessive heat, or damage of<br />

any kind. With a little care and the right supplies, it’s easy <strong>to</strong> do a good job.<br />

Some of <strong>our</strong> favorite electrical workshop essentials are:<br />

Tech Flex Braided Sleeving: Protect wires, hoses, and tubing just like<br />

vehicle fac<strong>to</strong>ries around the world. But don’t use that cheesy corrugated<br />

plastic wire conduit or worse, leave y<strong>our</strong> wiring uncovered. Use genuine<br />

Tech Flex braided sleeving and build y<strong>our</strong> own wire harnesses that are as<br />

good or better than the OEMs. (Page 55)<br />

Shrink Flex Professional Grade Heat Shrink Tubing:<br />

We love heat shrink tubing but not the cheapo shiny plastic<br />

kind, which is not at all durable and has a very poor<br />

shrink ratio. Use Shrink Flex heat shrink for bulletproof<br />

protection. This thick, rubbery tubing with its fantastic<br />

3 <strong>to</strong> 1 shrink ratio, is the best we’ve ever tried. (Page 55)<br />

Rescue Tape: This remarkable self-fusing tape insulates<br />

8,000 volts, resists 500° F, and provides a permanent waterproof<br />

seal. We’ve used this for everything from a roadside<br />

repair of a radia<strong>to</strong>r hose, <strong>to</strong> fixing leaky house plumbing,<br />

and oh yeah, on mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle wiring <strong>to</strong>o! (Page 55)<br />

Posi-Lock Connec<strong>to</strong>rs: These are the best<br />

The tubing can<br />

shrink down<br />

<strong>to</strong> 33% of its<br />

original size.<br />

wire connec<strong>to</strong>rs we’ve ever used. Strip the ends of<br />

the wire you want <strong>to</strong> connect, insert in the Posi-<br />

Lock, hand tighten the ends and you’re done.<br />

Posi-Locks are a dependable and they’re reusable!<br />

(Page 54)<br />

Posi-Tap Connec<strong>to</strong>rs: A common workshop<br />

task is tapping in<strong>to</strong> a live wire <strong>to</strong> provide power<br />

for an electrical accessory. To do this properly used <strong>to</strong> take good soldering<br />

skills and a bit of time. Worse it permanently altered y<strong>our</strong> mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle’s wire<br />

harness. With Posi-Taps you can do a better job in a fraction of the time,<br />

and you can later remove the tap leaving just a tiny pinhole in the insulation<br />

which is easy <strong>to</strong> repair. Posi-Taps are just brilliant! (Page 54)<br />

Posi-Twist connec<strong>to</strong>rs: This product allows you <strong>to</strong> quickly and securely<br />

connect multiple wires <strong>to</strong> one another in one location. For example, you<br />

might use a Posi-Twist <strong>to</strong> easily create multiple ground connections. Posi-<br />

Twists serve the same purpose as old-fashioned wire nuts but they’re much<br />

more secure and far better suited for use in vehicle wiring. (Page 54)<br />

Centech AP-1 & AP-2 Fuse Panels: A proper fuse panel is the only way<br />

<strong>to</strong> go once you’ve added more than one electrical<br />

accessory <strong>to</strong> y<strong>our</strong> bike. Adding <strong>to</strong>o many wires <strong>to</strong><br />

y<strong>our</strong> battery terminals is a great way <strong>to</strong> be sure y<strong>our</strong><br />

bike breaks down or worse! A good fuse panel<br />

keeps all y<strong>our</strong> additional wiring tidy, secure, and<br />

easily identified. Also once you’ve installed a fuse<br />

panel it’s a snap <strong>to</strong> add or remove an electrical<br />

accessory. (Page 54)<br />

Electrical Workshop Guides: Want <strong>to</strong> know more about mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle<br />

wiring We’ve got you covered with some great books like the Haynes<br />

Mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle Electrical Techbook, Tracy Martin’s Mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle Electrical Systems<br />

Troubleshooting and Repair, and <strong>our</strong> own Essential Guide <strong>to</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle<br />

Maintenance by Mark Zimmerman. As well we offer the full line of Haynes<br />

and Clymers mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle repair manuals with model-specific wiring<br />

diagrams. Go online <strong>to</strong> www.whitehorsegear.com/books <strong>to</strong> see <strong>our</strong><br />

complete line of mo<strong>to</strong>rcycling books or call <strong>to</strong> request <strong>our</strong> Books <strong>catalog</strong>.<br />

Current Flows Both Ways: And remember that any power<br />

outlet connected directly <strong>to</strong> y<strong>our</strong> battery can be used <strong>to</strong> put<br />

power in as well as take power out. That means you can use<br />

that outlet <strong>to</strong> plug in y<strong>our</strong> battery charger!<br />
