Default Accesory Wire

Trying to install a set of J&M speakers to my Bob. The Instructions say to connect the power wire to a switchable power source. I received some advise to connect the power source to the accessory wire. Unfortunately, I do not know where the accessory wire is located (can not get a service manual until tomorrow). Does anyone know where the accessory wire is located?

I have a 2009 Street Bob. Mine was under the seat. Black square multi pin connector. I cheated and paid $15 for a (I believe softail) accessory HD plug-in cig adapter. Use the plug to plug into the harness....then run the wires to whatever you'd like....very easy and clean set up. I have a fuel pack on mine so I had to really dig into the wires to find it. Had a rubber plug fitting over the end of it. Hope that helps.

+1, it is under the seat on the 2009 Fat Bob too. I used it to power my 12v garage door opener that I tucked under my console. You can go to just about any dealership, autoparts store and probably a Fastenal, etc...to get the parts needed to make a Deutsch connector for it as well. It's not hard to do if you can crimp connectors on wire.

The Accessory wire is Orange with a White tracer if you want to go that way.

Sorry didn't see your question. NO the cig adapter itself isn't fused. The accessory line is fused at the panel, but I have thought about throwing in a inline fuse any way...just to be safe, I guess it couldn't hurt.
