I have never seen a 12 volt soldering iron but it sounds interesting.

As for the butane pen torch, all the joints in the jumper wire to be soldered would be right on top of the battery for us.

Not a place I want to be soldering with a butane pen torch.

 

Thanks! I´m not usually soldering things for the bike, but good option in the future if needed. Didn´t know about battery-powered soldering irons.

I´d like to have one like the Weller:

Hi guys!

Very hectic here during these days! will install the wire as soon as I have some free time to do it real soon.

Here's the prepared wire, I added a double layer of thermoretractable tube in the center to make the union even more rigid and secure.



No mystery here, but will let you know how it went when installed :-)

Cheers,

 

You might want to put a little tubing around that bare metal spade connector. Once the other end is hooked to the battery it will be hot and can short out!!!

Thanks miacycles!

It's naked because it'll be inserted substituting the actual 30 spade connector on the plastic block piece that connects to the relay, as explained by texas ;-)

Cheers,

 

That is exactly how I wired mine. If you want a little extra insurance that the connector won't come loose because of bike vibration wrap a cable tie around the relay and connector block over your new wire.

 

I'll do it, thanks!

 

Good the block is the way to go!!!

Way less trouble and cleaner than adding a second relay. Hope it works for you Nostalgia. What gage wire are you using?

 

Hi guys!

Just installed the wire and all went great, the bike starts better than ever. Feels like it has gained more strenght and a few fractions of a second in the starting process.

Following picture shows the removed 30' spade connector before insulation, thanks Texas!



Thank you very much D1gger, Texas, Gunslingertom, miacycles and all of you guys helping out!

Cheers,




Thanks, it worked! About the gauge, don't know, but it was rather thick, equal as the wire that came with the fuse holder showed in the previous picture I posted:
