TrickLidz Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 My 15 has hardly any storage space under the seats compared to the old 06. I need to mount a Centech AP-2 somewhere. Any ideas? TIA 'Lidz Link to comment
PadG Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yep! Under the pillion seat. I made some modifications to my Centech first though, and that is to remove the 4 stand-offs and heavily insulate the back of the circuit board against accidental short circuiting! The stand-offs are easily removed by grasping each one very firmly with a pair of pliers, and giving it a rotation to free it from the hole in the circuit board. Be careful that you don't crack the board! For insulating the back of the circuit board, I applied a very thick layer of epoxy (JB Weld, because I had it handy), and then when that have cured fully, I place a pad of velcro on the surface. The mating velcro pad goes on the rear fender. If you look, you will see that there is a perfect spot on top of the rear fender. Works really well for me. Link to comment
semimojo Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 What auxiliary electrical devices do you guys use your Centech AP-2 for? Just curious. I haven't done any long-distance touring yet, but I'm thinking about what might be handy to have, and how I'd power it. Link to comment
PadG Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I was undecided about using the Centech at all, since I just wants to power up the Clearwater Krista lights and my Valentine one. I could have just wired the Clearwater harness directly to the battery, and find a place to tap into for the power for V1. OTOH, while I had the tupperwares off, I figured that I might as well wire in the Centech.....just in case I want to wire up something else later. Link to comment

PadG Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I did! I used the trigger output from the Canopener to trigger the relay for the switched circuit on the Centech. BTW, the brake light output from the Canopener is really handy. I wired that up to the aux. LED brake light of my top-box, and it is now active as running light as well as brake light, with programmable flashing. Link to comment
