Playing with a few things today, thought it would be handy to have a tail light extension harness when putting a longer than stock tail section on. Also have a key on 12V and ground piggy backed off to power something in the tail section.

This is for a 99-07 Busa, have connectors for 08-XX coming as well.

Could also add a relay kit to it to provide more capability in the tail maybe for a fuse box. I originally wanted to make a plug and play fuse box as a product, I think maybe I will just let the customer select their own fusebox and provide wiring to it.

Hi. That is a great thing you are doing there I will be using a MAXX stand alone and a 12 over tail with all LED lights in tail for run, stop and turn. I will run an electric water pump for cooling and water to air intercooler. I plan to also use NOS to help cool the charge and to help spool the turbo.

hi all,

my experiances with bikes and their switches are
that all consumers that have to switch more than 5-6 amps of current should best be switched via very cheap standard relays,
because of the sparks that almost always arise in the switches when the contacts are moved,
these contacts erode over years, switch by switch a bit more, and after a longer while the contact resistances become larger and larger
until the amperage is so low / the switches resistance is so hellish high,
that the consumer can only deliver the least amount of power.

so do i at all my, and customers, headlights and horns for example with best results.

btw. at a now 32 year old fj1200 a buddy meassured ~15 years ago only 9.6 volts at the h4-head lamp - a carbide powered lamp from 1920 would have been brighter.

after doing the relais-deal his head light (low and high beam) was as bright as "sunshine" - what a big success.
since then we all do this relais-deal at our fj´s and i also do so for the busa´s xenon-low beam what takes 8-10 A when got switched on.
and all of my switches thank me by working very long with the fj as with the busa.

i hope you all will understand my germenglish. :bowdown:

Got the heavier gauge wire and fuse holder in, look okay? Not sure what type of fuse box you are going to go for but for reference a cheap Amazon one in the pic. I will send extra terminals and heat shrink in case you want to shorten the fuse box 12V and ground wires.

You make some bloody great parts Greg. I wished I had access to that loom and plugs for my gen2 - I added a switched relay to power my heated grips and USB port because even when everything was off they still pulled enough power to drain the battery over a few weeks.
