Hey guys, first off thank you to everyone who already wrote guides on how to install a 12 volt cigarette lighter on the fz6.
I used about 40 dollars in parts from autozone and about an hour because the battery bolt couldn't reach the nut with the new terminals.
I ended up screwing the bolt in without the terminals from the battery or the additional small circle terminals, then sliding an allen wrench under the nut to hold it up while i unscrewed the bolt, put terminals on, rescrewed into the nut while the allen wrench held the nut up and in place so the bolt threads were able to catch.
Pretty easy all and all just required some critical thinking and patience due to my big hands and small spaces..
Now i have everything attached it works but it hits me i just got my bike a week ago i don't to drill holes into the plastics... i tried.. i just couldn't bring myself to touch after countless measurements..... then CRITICAL THINKING comes back for me i see a small hose clamp i had from my CAI on my car. and just mount it right up to the bracket in the picture.
The extra terminal on the positive side runs to a fuse box with a 10 amp in it then to the cigarette lighter.
it hasn't caused a problem yet in a month but i ride pretty much every day longest bike has sat has been 3 days and it fired up just fine, year old battery.
:cheer:
PS (edit) Who likes my Mooseracing pad? taking votes on keeping it on or off lol
