Wiring Diagram - should it be different?
Hi all,
This is the wiring I used to use when installing anything 12v to a car that I wanted to turn on/off with a switch.
Anything different for a bike? I realize a bike's battery is much smaller than a car's... but it is still 12v, isn't it? I'm planning on installing a couple of LED strips.
Secondly, is there a CONSTANT-ON wire anywhere I can tap into instead of going to the battery?

It is the same. just make sure your fuse is near your power source. if you tap onto an existing wire I always recommend that you strip the wire back in line and solder the new wire on. "t-taps" or "quick connects" are not the best way to get power.
