FITTING ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

Fitting additional electrical accessories on bikes is very common and many customers will ask for heated grips, 12v sockets, USB chargers or additional lighting on a bike.

You’ll come across many bikes with poorly fitted accessories, sometime to the point of being dangerous.

We've created a guide to fitting electrical accessories, complete with an example circuit diagram, things to consider and mistakes to avoid. You can view it now by clicking HERE.

But here's our top tips for adding electrical accessories:

Use manufacturer fitted accessory ports in the loom where available
Do not use Canbus circuits when fitting accessories
Check current ratings of any accessory feed used
Use direct battery feed via a relay if there’s a question over the current rating of a circuit
Protect circuits with fuses
Either solder connections or use quality crimp connectors
Use heat shrink to waterproof cable joints & give a professional appearance
Use spiral wrap to protect wiring runs from abrasion
Use cable ties to secure cables
Ensure free movement of the handlebars lock to lock
