Subject: re: Power Outlet
Hi @ riders,
I'm not recommending to use the spare fuse for additional power outlet:
during the three years of having my AT, 3 Fuse's gone (not melted, just
the vibrations killed 'em). I was always happy, to have a spare one...

Not neccesary (IMHO and by Honda mechanic :-). Good mounting point for
ground in the front you find at the screw, which holds the airbox on the
frame.
BTW: there is a "standard plug" for additional power outlets. You find
those at Hein Gerike and car support shops. At the later, I payed
exactly half of the price ! Those plugs are quite resistant to
vibrations. Some battery greece, and you avoid oxidation.
I strongly recommend, to switch additional power over a relays ! Try to
start the AT with an empty battery on you know why :-))))
Also: the fuse should be as near at the battery as posible to keep the
risk of a "burning" Africa low.
regards, Martin
