Hi, I'm after some advice please. I wish to install a lead for heated clothing, where is the best place to take the power from that will be able to handle the required current?
How much current do you need?
I think they require 5amps but will need to check with the manufacturer
You need a fuse distribution block....this one is expensive...others are available on fleabay
You will then be able to safely connect a number of devices without any issues

Thanks, I take it therefore that I would need to lift the tank to run a positive and negative wire from the battery to the distribution block?

I think you will be able to 'thread a couple of cables directly from the battery to power the fuse block without any need to remove or lift the tank, I have done this in the past...it can be a bit fiddly but is possible
If I remember correctly there may well be a switched feed from within the Black rubber cup which is located behind the front left fairing...these leads are short and will probably need lengthening, the positive lead has a plastic sheath at the end and the negative is an unsheathed male 'bullet' type plug
I've been trying to find some pictures to help but am struggling
I hope that this helps
Thank you
I have found these two pictures which may help.... the first shows the switched power leads and the second the routing of the power cables

Thank you OC
There are 2 at the front in the rubber wiring boot under storage box on the left bullet connectors positive and negative these are powered with the ignition ( I wired my satnav into mine ) there are 2 more at the rear under the toolbox which you could run from the same as the front ignition powered. As pictures OC posted
