OEM Wiring connectors

Post by kerdoman »

Thought it might be a good idea to use OEM connectors when installing farkles to keep the wiring looking tidy.
Anyone have a UK source for these, or are they just (probably expensive) Motorad stock items?

Be very carefull. Cutting into the Canbus can have some alarming results.

Safest way to add extras is with a fuseblock which is wired straight to the battery plus a trigger wire so power is supplied with ignition ON.

As far as I'm aware this is the only safe option with CANBUs / LINBus bikes. Have not done this myself so can not give any further advice but do a nerd search and I'm sure you will find a thread on the topic.

What are you adding?
I added P3 lights and Photon blasters followed Skene's directions and used supplied connectors. My escort 8500ci I piggybacked off the P3 lights power scource, no issues with canbus, knock on wood

The cunning plan is to take a 6way single pole fusebox directly from the battery and then feed Autocom, spot/fog lights, satnav, etc via isolation switches and warning lights.

Instead of using aftermarket connectors, an OEM look would be better.
