Have you had problems? Why more amperage?

(I know... just because).

I do have a draw somewhere that I can't pin down. It's not much but it will take the battery down if I don't watch it. I like leaving my LED's, GPS and XM on even when the Spyder is not running and this gives me that much more battery storage.

Gotcha.

Did you use an isolator, so the starting battery won't run down, or is it just paralleled?

Seeing it's mostly keeping up with one battery I'm not too worried about it right now.

Will this trickle take the batery down?

Hey Lamonster?

I have a Pyle marine radio with wired remote. Both have an LCD screen that dims but is always on. What are the odds that it will take the battery down?

Thanks in advance-

Depends on how much you ride it I guess. I would look into one of these.

Sure, once I get it all in- about a week or 2-

Thanks- I have a 19.99 sears diehard trickle charger with the same leads. I have it on the remote posts as we speak.

Ok, so here is the final install. Not easy finding a place to stuff all of the wires not to mention 18 feet of remote extension cable that cannot be cut because it contains 10 individually wrapped wires! The placement of the speakers does leave some of the sound behind (moving forward) but I am going to install half moon baffles, about an inch high along the lower half of the speakers to "redirect" the sound- At this point, the power lead is unswitched but there is only the LED readout on the main display and I have not found the minimal draw to be a problem.

I would love to have speakers on the bike!! Is that something that best buy would be able to hook up?

ps-I love the placement mount for the speakers, looks awesome!

thanks,
Brandon

Lamont, can you tell us where and what parts you used for the "Oil Catch can" in you video?

This seems like an easy terrific mod!


Thanks!
