Autocom Installation 4/13/2003

Before starting the installation I decided to clean up a rats
nest of wiring above the headlight.

The buss in the lower right is fed from a buss in the tail section.

The Autocom was attached to the tail section as show with velcro. The wiring
buss sits on top of the 12v to 6v power converter for the Archos Jukebox FM
Recorder, which sits on top of a 'choke' for clean power. The choke was
mounted in a Radio Shack box and powered from the auxiliary fuse panel. The
power from the choke leads to the power buss shown. I made the Archos
power source by breaking apart a 12v to 6v converter from Radio Shack and
mounting it in another hobby box. The power buss in the front fairing is also
attached to this isolated buss. The idea was to keep the audio circuits for the
mp3, V-1 radar detector, Cell phone, Autocomm and future bike to bike radio
completely separate from the power circuits to prevent noise. Although the
power comes from the same switched auxiliary fuse panel that feeds the heated
vest, gloves and grips, it all feed through the isolation choke first.

This shows the the route of the power loom running from the
front buss to the rear buss.

Switched auxiliary fuse panel. Two 10amp fuses power BMW outlets for
my Gerbing liner and gloves. Another feeds the Fiam horn circuit. The forth
powers the Hotgrips. The 5 amp circuit powers the audio circuit shown in
the pictures above.
