New to me - 2013 Spyder ST-SE5

[philkin]

Would like to add some electrical devices, Phone, GPS, etc. Is there a power buss available or
do I need to add a fused break-out box. either way where is there room to do this.

Thanks.

There is no dedicated accessory bus on the ST.
I have n 2013 STS and added a aftermarket fuse block under the panel
that houses the Switches for the parking brake, heated grips and fog lights.
You can run dedicated power and ground directly from the battery to the fuse block.
I added a relay to switch the fuse block. From the fuse block I run my GPS, Driving Lights,
DIY heated grips, USB Ports (3) and a Powerlet outlet for my heated gear. Also have
a garage dor opener located near the fuse block. Lots of space below the panel.
Cheers, David C.

Nice list & sounds great now Or 10? I'm looking to add few things in that space on my STL but have not had luck finding matching rocker switches that will fit correctly & just as water resistant.

I'm starting down the same road as well; just need to get the fuse block. @Dave, which one did you get?

Also, @JimVonBaden just did a bunch of the same work on his wife's ST and he found switches (and a USB port) on Amazon. Start reading at http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...=1#post1197664

I'm adding the TricLED driving lights (the ones that mount to the fenders so they turn with the front wheels,) the USB port with built-in voltmeter, and a heated gear controller.

Right now the bike is a mess as I’m installing farkles, Saddle bags, Trailer hitch, Rear bag lights(DIY), Bumpskid
and updating the electricals. I will post pictures in a few days.

I like DIY and am constrained by a small budget so I built my Fuse box with this setup.

Bolted a relay in the upper left corner to make the fuse block switched. Power and ground are direct from the battery.
I tied the relay signal to switched power from the unused air pump connector. Concept proven on my previous VStrom.

Driving lights are from CREE – no problems with them being waterproof. Mounted on the lower A frames.

Powerlet socket for my heated gear.

Marine Switches for Driving lights and Garage door opener. Waterproof and an exact fit to the
Spyder switch cutouts.

Momentary for the garage door opener. Fits in the slot for the suspension air pump (2^nd from the right).

SPDT for the driving lights. I’m working with adding a jumper for this switch to plug into to the stock Spyder harness.
Right now I have direct wiring to the driving lights. Works great. Although all you really need is an SpSt ON-OFF switch.

USB Charger port. I cut a hole between the Heated grip socket and the Garage door open for this socket.

Cell Phone and GPS holder. This unit comes with a USB port, RAM Ball and Clamp. I built a Holder for the
RAM ball and the Powerlet socket from scrap Aluminum bar, spacers and bolts found on EBay.

Thx & I'm looking forward to the pics, I'm sure some will ask for a wiring diagram & fuse size too. Hope we can meet at Spyderfest
