Hi all,
This may be one of those self-answering questions, but maybe not.
I have bought a pair of Oxford HotGrips and just need a hand with installation, I have no garage or anything so dont fancy leaving anything in a half-finished state while i read up some more, it all has to be done in one go.
I have read through the instructions, but have not managed to find any illustrations with the ST1100. is it very difficult to install these or could anyone do it?
I have a garmin Zumo GPS already wired in as well as a (not used) autocom system, so stuff has already been wired up, but i dont know what that means!
The oxford manual says to wire it directly to the battery, but i dont know if thats a bad idea, i am never the type to leave things switched on after leaving the bike but maybe I should connect it to something else, like a relay or something?
Either way, i guess i need to open the bike up and see what the current wiring situation is?
If i have some kind of accessories fuse box, what do i do with it? the connectors on the hot-grips are circular so as to go round battery contacts, and i am guessing a fuse box will be different?
any help in this (these) area(s) will be much appreciated!!
thanks.
