aeroden Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi guys, Just looked at the installation instructions for OEM 12v Accessory Socket and OEM Heated Grips and both manuals say these things do not go together... Is that indeed so? Sounds very irrational, particularly for sport-touring bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 25, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2017 Could be just due to the number of plugs available on the OEM wiring harness/accessory harness. Easily solved with some OEM-type connectors, wire and solder, I would think? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Marsman99 Posted November 25, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yep, they both connect to the same (and only) accessory connector on the OEM harness. Connect the grips there and connect the 12v accessory socket to the battery or better yet, to a fuse block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 26, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 26, 2017 So long as a high-Amp accessory is not used via the accessory socket whilst the heated grips are being used, there shouldn't be any need for a fuse block, however.

aeroden Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 The guy here reports that he managed to connect the both, like there is no issue at all. Indeed according to the manual there is only one accessory harness connector. My current 3rd party accessory plug is hooked directly into the battery. How I don't like it this way, because I have a phone charger plugged there all of the time and they all have leds that drain the battery slowly. So I'm looking for a way to cut plug's power once I switch the bike off. OEM plug is one (pricey) way to do it, but then I've got puzzled with its another limit, i.e. preventing heated grips install (unless we got with soldering iron as JZH suggests). Are there any switchable aftermarket 12v sockets that you can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 27, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 27, 2017 Should the soldering iron beckon, I don't know of any sources of OEM connectors in Oz, but there's Eastern Beaver in Japan (run by a Canadian, VFR-owning ex-pat), and in the 'States Joe at Cycle Terminal is great to work with on international orders.

Thanks for pointing them out. Their articles taught me a couple of things about proper crimping, back then, but I totally forgot about how they called.

rydfly Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Or you can always try to source the multi-ended wire harness offered in other markets outside of the North America which ties into the OEM power source switched to the key. I bought one a couple of years ago while visiting the UK but have yet to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 29, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 29, 2017 If you have the part number it would be easy to find. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rydfly Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 08A30 MGE 800, I believe. Google "quartet harness" and you should find what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroden Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 That seems to be the single-ended one, or am I missing something? Can you please share a pic of your multi-ended one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crakerjac Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 08A30-MGE-800 I ordered mine though David Silver Spares in the UK. The only ones available in the US were the single ended ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
