Now Available, the PC-8 This superb new fuse panel is full of all the features everyone has ever wanted and more! Easy to install, well protected, and with 8 mini fuses, one on each output circuit. Includes 8 output grounds too. This special VStrom edition of the PC-8 Kit includes everything you will need to install. However I do have more mounting options on the PC-8 Page should you want to do an alternate install. Read all the details on the PC-8 Page.

VStrom Edition: The VStrom Kit length is 18 inches and the switching lead has connectors that plug right into the bike's rear brake light switch connector. I have fit one on my VStrom so that you know it will fit your VStrom perfectly. See the installation page for photos of my installation.

The PC-8 is also available separately on my PC-8 Page.

The 3 Circuit Solution (3CS) for VStrom

This VStrom version of my 3CS comes with my VStrom Rear Brakelight Connector Relay Switching Adapter, no need to tap any wires on the bike.

This Kit is like a small fuse panel that doesn't take up much space. I gives you three fused circuits and the components just tuck into unused spaces around the battery. You can order any of the Kits I sell, including Socket Leads, Relay Kits, etc, with the connectors you see to the right factory crimped onto it's main leads. This will allow you to plug 3 complete Kits (circuits) into the 3 Circuit Solution. And you can of course install the mating connector halves yourself, onto whatever circuit wires you add. I have chosen this type of connector because it has large enough terminals to carry a 20A current, and its terminals are easy to solder for the DIYer. Installation instructions and photos look here. Switched circuits are turned off when the bike is shut down. An unswitched circuit is always hot. Black connectors now replace these white ones on the prototype. Complete 3 Circuit Solution for VStrom - All Fuses Switched  $44.95 Quantity: Complete 3 Circuit Solution for VStrom - One Fuse Unswitched  $44.95 Quantity: You can get extra 2PF250 connectors or terminals here.

30A PC-8/Centech AP-2 Relay Kit for VStrom (no fuse panel) This Kit puts the PC-8 or AP-2 in the underseat tray. The relay goes behind the battery, and the rear brakelight adaptor plugs into the rear brake light connector. Everything you need is included except the AP-2: cable ties, two 30A fuses, and the Kit comes with the fuse panel input terminals attached. Here's how easy it is to install this Kit: 1 - mount the PC-8 or AP-2 in the underseat tray and remove the top cover by unscrewing the two cover screws 2 - slip the ring terminals of the fuse panel leads onto their posts and tighten up the locking nuts on them snugly 3 - unplug the rear brake light switch connector by holding down the end of the locking tab and pull apart 4 - plug the relay switching adaptor into both sides, they only go one way 5 - connect the main lead terminals to your battery 6 - attach your circuit wires to the PC8 or AP-2 by stripping the wire ends, inserting, and tightening down the screws No more routing wires way up front, or tapping into the bike's wiring. The rear brake connector is close to the battery and under seat tray, and is wired to the same circuit as the bike's heated grip connector. Switched circuits are turned off when the bike is shut down. An unswitched circuit is always hot. NOTE: DL650 models have the brake light connector mounted is the same place but it's under the coolant overflow tank. It's a bit more work to access and connect but it's not that difficult and still allows a plug and play connection without tapping a wire. 30A PC-8/AP-2 Relay Kit for VStrom -  $34.95 Quantity:

30A AP-1/Bluesea Fuse Panel Relay Kit for VStrom (no fuse panel)

This Kit fits a Centech AP-1 or a BlueSea fuse panel so if you already have one of these fuse panels, you can buy my fabulous kit and get the same easy installation as my complete Kits above.

This Kit can be seen here.

For this special VStrom edition, this Kit comes with fuse panel ring terminals pre-installed, and the VStrom rear brake light connector adapter is included, as shown in the AP-2 Kit above. Note that this Kit only has two fuse panel input leads.

Rear Brake Light Switch Connector Relay Switching Adapter This is the same adapter used on all VStrom Fuse Panel Relay Kits above. A Sumitomo 2 position connector makes it easy to get a switched power source for switching a relay to control a fusebox or any other accessory on the bike. All wires are factory crimped into the connectors and sheathed with high temperature VOX sheathing. Add your own push on terminal to connect to your relay, or use a Posi-Lock to connect your switching wire directly. The adaptor is 24" (61 cm). No more routing wires way up front, or tapping into the bike's wiring. The rear brake light switch connector is close to an under seat fusebox and is wired to the same circuit as the bike's heated grip connector. The rear brake light switch connector's hot lead is hot whenever the bike is turned on. It is a perfect place to tap a small current for switching your fusebox or any other accessory. NOTE: 650 ABS models have the brake switch light connector mounted in the same position, but it's under the coolant overflow tank. It's a bit more work to access and connect but it's not that difficult and still allows a plug and play connection without tapping a wire.

VStrom Heated Grip Adapter Connects to the factory heated grip connector using the connector above. Use for heated grips or other low current accessories. Also useful for relay switching. The stock heated grip connector on the bike has both a switched hot and a ground. The stock heated grip connector supplies power to this adaptor only when the bike is on.  You can power and ground any low power accessory from this stock plug. However, it is not designed for higher current applications. I would suggest a maximum of 7A for this connector. If you're thinking to power a GPS from this connection, be aware that whenever you shut your bike off, power to your GPS will go off too. Many GPS have onboard battery power but it can still be tiresome every time you shut off to push a button on the GPS to get it to continue on battery power. I like my GPS powered full time with backlighting on high. Specifications: This adaptor features factory crimped terminals, high temp 16 AWG leads, and high temp sheathing. A pair of Posi-Lock PL1416s make connection to your heated grip wires easy. Sumitube shrinktube sealed on the connector to keep out moisture and provide wire strain relief. The 24" adaptor is long enough to reach up around the handlebar center position, while the 36" adaptor is longer for reaching back under the seat. These adaptors are easy to shorten to length and refit the Posi-Locks. 24" (60 cm) VStrom Heated Grip Adaptor $7.95 Quantity:  36" (91 cm) VStrom Heated Grip Adaptor $9.95 Quantity:  48" (122 cm) VStrom Heated Grip Adaptor $11.95 Quantity:  60" (153 cm) VStrom Heated Grip Adaptor $13.95 Quantity: Note, the 24" version should be plenty long enough for most heated grip installs. I offer longer versions for other purposes. One such purpose might be for a relay switching lead and ground.

VStrom Factory Heated Grip to Fuse Panel Adapter Specifications: The factory heated grip connector is not the best place to supply power to heated grips. And if you have a fuse panel and the factory Heated Grips, you'll likely want to connect the factory heated grips to your fuse panel. This adaptor will allow you to do that and get full power to the grips, without having to cut and splice any wires, and avoids placing any extra load on the factory wiring. Factory crimped terminals on 16 AWG leads with high temperature VOX sheathing. The same plug as the factory heated grip plug behind the radiator plugs right into the factory heated grips. Adaptor is 36" (92 cm) in length. VStrom Factory Heated Grip to Fuse Panel Adapter $9.95 Quantity:

VStrom Brake/Tail/Signal Adapters - see installation info here There are two versions of this adaptor: Version 1 - has one wire for each wire in the VStrom's rear connector.
