POWER !!

   These big touring machines, like the Pan, have lots of options for accessories. In my case I have a bunch of options on my wish list.

• USB connection to charge my phone seems a no brainer. If we are having one then lets have one in each fairing pocket. 
• A power connection for the Sat Nav (I don't yet have)
• An accessory power port
• Heated seats are a possiblilty 

   There is a connection in the left hand fairing for accessory power. You have to but a wiring sub harness called a quartet harness. Unfortunately I do not want the accessories designed by the harness. I had a fish round tinterweb and came up with a small fuse panel. This is a fancy one as it has a LEDs which light up when the fuse fails.

   It took quite sometime to work out where the fused board would fit. After much trial and error I found the board would fit neatly in the tail piece. There is even a rubber strap to secure the unit. The strap is really for the Ignition Control Unit (ICU) which the Fused board sits on.

   I ran a 25amp rated twin wire cable from the battery to the fuse board. I crimped round post connectors to fit on the battery terminals. From the fuse individual twin wire cables were run to the back each of the fairing pockets. There they connected with USB sockets. The cables were neatly run and tied down.

   It was not a complicated job once the thinking part of the design was done. Routing the connection around the fuse board is not as neat as I would like but then the fuse board is dsigned for a boat not a bike.
