I have drawn up the control circuit and obtained the basic parts to power and operate the additional equipment. The heart of the system is the PDM-60 Power Distribution Module. I obtained it from Aerostich but they are available elsewhere. If you have used fused power centers before, have a look at the advantages that this unit offers. The greatest of which is that it has circuit breakers instead of fuses. If there is an over-current, you only have to turn the machine off, clear the fault, and turn it back on. No fishing for fuses. Even with the Honda supplied accessories, they rely on fuses. The heated grips even have a fuse tie-wrapped to the frame underneath the body panels. I have never seen a power distribution as elegant and compact as this. With only this, three DPDT control relays, an interconnecting harness, and proper terminations, it will be ready to go.
The extra circuits are:
1) HID headlight ballast
2) Tesla LED driving lights
3) Dual (High/Low) Fiamm electric horns
4) Powerlet receptacle inside the storage box
5) Powerlet receptacle on body panel for heated clothing
6) Russell heated seat
7) GPS
8) Angel eye CCFL ballast
CONTROL LOGIC:
In addition to simply powering loads and protecting circuits, there is logic as follows:
A) The Tesla LED's will have a bar-mounted on/off switch. When the switch is "on", the LED's will operate with the high beam switch. When the switch is off, the LED's are disabled. Each Tesla LED is fed from its own 5 amp circuit in the PDM-60.
B) The HID headlight will "wake up" in Angel Eye mode when I start the bike. It will be running, along with the marker lights in the front turn signals. When I select the high beam, the Angel Eye will go out and the HID burner will light. Thereafter, if the low beam is selected, the HID will go to low beam instead of back to Angel Eye. The only way to resume Angel Eye is to shut the bike off and re-start it. This is done to prevent short-cycling the HID by un-trained operators.
c) The Fiamm horns are relayed because they draw more current than the stock horn. There is no new logic. The original horn circuit operates the coil of the horn relay which provides power from the PDM-60 to each horn.
