I'll chime in that on something with a minimal draw like a GPS I'd be comfortable just taking a ground right to the frame rather than all the way back to the battery, but that's just me.
Hey Mellow,
does the wire tap need to be fused? Does it matter if it is?
I can't fin a place that sell the Poi-Tap's, they look t me as if I came from another world....If they do not know the product it` **** to their eyes. Probably explains why our roads are in a very poor condition. I will order a few on line and have them shipped to me.
My alternative would be to splice the wire (which I do not want to do or use self stripping connector as used in the automobile industry).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Frenchie

Hi!
Can I confirm from your post the power switch for st1300 (2010) is located at the thin fuse box indicated by red wire w/green stripe.
I currently trying to install FZ1 fuseblock to my ride ....
thks in advance
I don't know the FZ1 but it sounds like you are looking for a switched hotwire to trigger a relay for switched circuits from your fuseblock? The fuseblock should have a harness to connect to the battery. Power for the block comes from battery. You can use any switched circuit (like the rear light) that comes on with the key to activate the relay for fuseblock circuits you want switched. If the location is under the pillion seat a rear light hot wire that comes on with the key would be my choice. Any switched circuit would do. There are only limited uses for an unswitched circuit, for instance a circuit that is used to plug a battery tender. If someone knows the FZ1 better maybe they can explain more clearly.
