On my 750 I just ran some extra speaker cable with an inline fuse to the handlebar, and put a waterproof cigarette lighter plug on the end. I routed the wires along with the main harness. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

I have the same ride. At idle, 850 rpm it will be 12.4-12.6V. If I'm over 2500 rpm, I'll get 14V. It been like this since I bough the bike in 2005. I had a dead battery last month after stopping for gas. Fortunaltey it was on top of a hill, got it rolling and popped the clutch into 2nd. My own fault I have a float charger but just didn't bother using it. FYI: Harbor Freight's float charger is on sale $6.00, http://www.harborfreight.com/battery-float-charger-automatic-69955.html. Taking the seat off to use the charger is a pain so I added leads with plastic heads (so they don't short out) from the battery. They are long enough that they stay folded in the little tool storage. That way I just have to pull the left cover to clip on the charger. My turn to ask a question. I want to add a 2nd set of leads for my GPS, (Mr. Honda hangs his head in shame when he thinks of my speedometer) anybody have suggestions or guidance? How have you run the wire to the handlebars?
