rodantking Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm look to power up my radar detector on my '15 rt. I was planning on just putting it into the canbus for a easy switch power source. The only thing I can find on it is from older models but it suggests putting anything into the canbus is problematic. Can I and if so where is it? Also I've but buses with a relay on lots of bikes but not for a long time and I know there have been a lot of product that is designed to do just that. If I need to make a new bus what products do you recommend. It has to be switched so if a relay is built in all the better. I would be adding two heated gear lines to it that are now just hard wired to the battery. Link to comment
roadriderg Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I tagged into the power outlet on right front. This is a switched power with i think 10 amp capability. On the backside is used a posi-tap on the positive and found a ground on the bike for the negative. Link to comment
rodantking Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks that came to me about a hour ago. Seeing the computer is already expecting a load on that line, all should be good. Link to comment
rodantking Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not to get off topic but I pulled the plastic off my top case and took it in to get painted today and found a plug under the backrest. It's the newer large case. I can only think of two things it could be for. One the gtl has a heated backrest or to put power inside the case. If for the latter not sure why it did not just come with a couple working usb power sources panel mounted in. That would actually be useful. It is not like they sold that thing for a bargain.

LudemJo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 That plug may also be for the integrated rear brake light that is available. John Link to comment
LudemJo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not to take this too much further off topic, but I wish I would have thought about that power outlet on the right front when I was wiring up the Skene Photon Blasters. That would have been much cleaner than getting the switched power from the fuse block under the seat. I may investigate this further and go back and do that... Link to comment
strataj Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 There is 2 fuses (switch power) under the seat Page 14 of the manual item 4. easy to get to and the wires are of better gauge to tap into. Jay Link to comment
roadriderg Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 On the rear power outlet i have a triggered relay for power direct from the battery. On the front I just used the power outlet direct for the radar as it does draw much power. But if I was to add anything else I would add a triggered relay at the front powerplug for a larger power supply direct from the battery. Link to comment
