interesting vid. FYI: what i did is tap into the rear number plate wire, and use it as the switch to a relay to ensure i only have power when the ignition is on. i ran a wire from both battery terminals into the relay, and then put the relay 'live' into a small 4-way auxiliary fure box that cost a few quid on amazon. it all fits snugly into the small space at the back of the seat where the light is. this allows you to connect upto 4 devices easily just using standard electrical connectors without worrying about any load, all you need to do is route the cables. I bought a cheap dual usb charger with battery voltmeter and made a small bracket to attach it firmly to the rear rack, so when my phone starts running down on the move, it goes into my rear bag, quickly plugs in and all's good. I never bothered fitting heated grips or a 12v charger, so i could have just used the relay without the fuse box, but the job all up can't have cost me more than £30 plus a cpl hours of my time. GL
Nice one Tommy. Think I'd be tempted to chop out a section of that long red/black supply lead to tidy things up a bit instead of wrapping it all up. Phone looks really good in that position and totally practical.
Hey Rob, I did consider that but a couple of things stopped me from doing so. 1) Hopefully it won't be on the bike for that long, I'll likely have a new bike this year and I may need a longer run on my next bike. 2) I wouldn't have a clue how to do that 🤣
Whoo multiple videos keep it up ☝️👌alltho as an electrician not an auto electrician I cried when you bunched them cables up into a nest 17:04 😂😢but keep it up lovin the vids can’t wait to get another ride vid
Yeah they both mention the other video so they went up at the same time. Truth be told, as per usual I was running out of time as I had to go pick my lad up from school 🤣 Also, easier to remove when I upgrade 😀
With it on auto have you ever drain the battery the way it connected because I’ve been told with 125’s having little battery’s that it mite I’m just waiting for my stuff coming so I’ll have the joys of fitting next week
Thanks Andrew, sure the bag is a QBag Tail Bag 3, and you can find them at Sports Bike Shop by following this link :) www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/313404/#/28313,3578,0
@@TwoWheelsTommy The iPhone XR has a rating of “IP67” which means it is not fully protected from dust and can handle being under freshwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 metre and no more. If your phone gets dropped in a puddle, a shallow pool, or wet from the rain, it will be just fine….had this phone for 6 years and I never knew 😆thanks Tommy

I wish I had your electrical prowess 🤣 A lot of stuff I don't understand right there but I'm glad it is doing the job for you. 💪
Thanks for this , I’ll be giving this a go in the next few days 👍🏻
It is very easy, have fun! Funilly enough I took mine off yesterday as I sold this bike having passed my test last week 😀
Very useful. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, thanks for watching 🙂
Its up to you Tommy but I just use a charged up power bank if I need it :)
That is always an option. I'm not that organised, it would be run down when I need to use it 🤣
Nice one always nice when you do the job yourself and it works, and you are learning about the bike at same time
Thanks Sean, yes much less intimidating than a modern car! I enjoy doing stuff like this 👍

Nice video, and love the just do it approach to dismantling the fairing!
Thanks, I had to get at it no matter what!
18:11 I’m screaming at the screen for you not to put it on 😂😂silly 😮😅
Yeah rushing backfired there for sure 🤣

Not at all, it doesnt matter how big the battery is it will cut off under the voltage threshold. No dramas with it at all 👌
How's that Qbag treating you? I was looking at the 20L one for carrying an extra visor/chain
I've been very pleased with it, really easy to fit and it stays put. 👌
Hi still enjoying your videos. I noticed your saddle bag can I ask if you remember were you got it from please
Thanks Andrew, sure the bag is a QBag Tail Bag 3, and you can find them at Sports Bike Shop by following this link :)

@TwoWheelsTommy thank you man and just my luck they are out of stock at the moment never mind
Good job done
Thank you :)
Purchased my quad lock today, nice bit of kit, on,y negative is the case isn’t waterproof
Ah, your phone might be though anyway. If not you can buy a Quad Lock 'ponch' that fits over the case. There's a link in the description 👍
