Default Re: SatNav fitting - anyone know who does this?

Ha hA, nice one, I get you now. Electrics are not my thing! Can you tell? The wiring provided is specific for bike connections and has an in-line fuse, so I shall connect in parallel, I now see that it wouldn't matter if I connect the red or black (from the satNav wires) to either side of the bulb (ie. yellow or blue wires on bike) so I shall have a go and let you know, I'm just waiting for the Maps to update to 2007 version. Happy Days.....
PS, thanks for taking the time and effort to respond.

theres an art to using a map. Its all in the pre planning. You get your map, work out your route. Then you write down the road numbers names etc, with junction detials, Turn left etc. Then tape the littel list to the tank, and only use the map for emergencies. None of this sat nav malarkey

Other than that, what has been said above. Run a couple a live wire from the numberplate light to the front of the bike (And yes its fine to raise the tank to get underneath) connect one of the wires the Positive to this wire, then the other to a sutible crew/bolt on the frame. Im sure that theres someone around your area that can give you a hand.

Should the lead with the inline fuse not be wired into the live side- which ever colour that would be?
