Yes, will require separate fuse.
All power wires are available in the headlight bucket.

Hope it help

I have to ask about the hardware mounting your front camera to the mount. Mine did not come with a long screw and nut. Mine has a shorter screw that threads into one side of the camera clamp. Did yours come with that long screw?

Let me know of where you hide the extra long "Manual switch & GPS" wires.
I did hide mine behind the headlight bucket, but still looks ugly.
For the front camera, I riveted the lens base to the headlight bucket and
for the rear, I riveted it on the tail light lens cover.

Also, for the GPS "Time" setting, I selected the -4 hours for Toronto.

Hi MVK,
Since I installed quite a few accessories on the CB and I did not want to tamper with the factory wirings, I made an external "auxiliary" waterproof electrical box located between the rear shock and the air filter cover.

All my accessories (relays & fuses) goes through it.

Yes, will require separate fuse.

Hi MVK,
Since I installed quite a few accessories on the CB and I did not want to tamper with the factory wirings, I made an external "auxiliary" waterproof electrical box located between the rear shock and the air filter cover.

All my accessories (relays & fuses) goes through it. Very cool, i have looked into an external fuse box for my jeep in the past and now my Forester XT to clean up all the auxilary wiring running from the battery. This might be a good excuse to try it even though I only plan on running 1 pair of those 60w lights. I found them on Amazon for 41$ with prime shipping.

I suppose I will order one of those pre-made harnesses for 17$ to keep the relays and fuse nice and tidy as I've used them in the past on the subaru.

Did you use one of those handbag mounted switches?

I appreciate the advice above to run my power from the headlight bucket but I also don't want to mess with factory wiring.. (ask me how I know) damn jeeps lol
