Just installed my harness for my heated gloves.

Tapped into the horn circuit up front, very easy, only had
to remove left inner cover.

The horn "does not" have a hot lead to the horn.
The horn switch "is not" a to ground switch.

It is just like one would expect. The horn has a ground and
a wire to the horn switch. The horn switch injects current to horn
when tripped.

(Maybe I was just reading the above posts wrong)

There is a constant hot to the horn button ignition switched.

The circuit to the horn switch is the Horn/Tail light circuit, 10 amp switched.

My connector harness has an inline fuse, came with a 15 amp installed.
Swapped inline fuse to a 5 amp so it trips before circuit fuse. Tested
already when measuring current from glove connector and accidentally touched
both +/- together, oops.

Gloves state 22watts x 2 = 44watts so should be just under 4 amps. If need to
can go to 7.5 amp fuse.

As a side note I am thoroughly impressed with the gloves for the money.
Sedici Hotwired Gloves on sale at Cycle Gear $134.99 comes with y-harness, power tap and
controller built into each glove (off, low, med, hot). Quality of kit definitely exceeded my
expectations for the money. Usually when I buy some overpriced "motorcycle" farkle I feel
like the company just stuck me good not this time. Gloves warm up in about 2 seconds too.
We'll see how they last, I asked twice and CG claims lifetime guarantee.

Thats great info and pictures are my best friend :-)

Are the grips hard tubular or soft spongy type ?
What did you stick them on with ?

Thanks Maddy ;-)

Hey Maddy,

I got the Rowe PDM60.. It is computer controlled but out of the box its a management unit.. Out of the box it has a delay start function, but you can reprogram it as you want.. Plus it has it's own management function where if you are using heated gear (jacket, pants and so on), it has a shut off delay as well.. Anywhere from 10 seconds to 120 seconds..

It wires up to the main battery and also to a ignition source, plus if theres a fault, it has a LED light.. It replaces all the fuses for all accessories.. Once there's a fault.. it turns red.. to reset it you shut your bike off and restart.. If it remains red or yellow.. Means there's a fault that you need to trace.. Otherwise, it goes back green and back in service..

Ive then bought a ground distribution block.. so wire management is clean and perfect..

But if you want to exchange your grips, then Oxford heated grips control unit has a automatic shut off built in.. and once the movement of the bike stops, via vibration, the unit shuts off in 30 seconds.. There's the second option..

Good luck

US based company.

I'm using heated gloves off this connection, not grips but
connection up front would work great for grips.

Sent my 14 back to the shop after having a hissy fit over the "oxford" heated grips flattening my battery if i leave them on, the salesman said that they should shut down when the power gets low, I said yes they do, at 11.4 v, it takes at least 12.3 to start the big boy.

I thought, there's 5 minutes of my life i will never get back, consumed by an idiot.

Added a Fuzeblock from http://www.fuzeblocks.com/. Allows for both switched and unswitched circuits for all add ons. Easily mounts under seat. Run the connector for heated gear to a switched circuit on the block. Easy install and makes adding electrics a breeze.

I got the Rowe PDM60.

When I put the heated grips on my ZX14, I used a relay. The trigger pin on the relay I connected to an engine on wire. I forget which one but found it in the shop manual wiring diagram. I know there is one on the headlamps you can tap, and there are others that are only hot when the engine is running (as opposed to the ignition switch being in the on position).

Then the input pins on the relay go to the battery, and the output pins go to the heated grips in parallel.

Also did this on my ZG14 too for something else, since it already had heated grips from the factory.

I'm lazy now, my new trike didn't come with heated grips so I had the dealer add them before delivery. LOL.
