i don't have an r. but i did stay at a holiday express last night. there is a third lead for your headlights. i think it is for a running light. it is unused and comes on and off with your key. that is what i ran the power for my gps from. |

I don't yet have the service manual (just bought the bike) so I wanted to ask is the circuit that the diagnostic plug is on fused? Also does it run back directly to the ECM? thank you, Bart |

To be safe draw all your power from the battery, you can add a relay trigered by that third running light lead if you want to. Last thing you want to do is overheat a wire, and then you'll be tracing electrical problems - no fun. |

Yes, draw any sizable amount of power straight from the battery. I'm re-doing my lighting hookups. Here is where that aux line can be tapped and how I'm doing it http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/391936.html?1220507078 |
