CB750 12v accessory wire?
« on: June 21, 2006, 04:28:18 PM »
I need a 12v wire with constant power at the front to hook up a GPS - any recommendations on the best way to wire it?

Directly to battery with 15v quick-blow fuse, done in 2 minutes.

You have 12v constant ozzing all inside your headlight shell.

I believe that the imfamous "green wire" to nowhere on the 750 has 12V 
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

What bike wire harness do you have?
Green ones are standard for Honda Ground, Black ones are ignition switched, red ones are live to battery.  The starter solenoid is a good place to tap off a battery, always hot connection.
