Running wires

[Gregory]

Greetings,

I am working on a power distribution module for my '13. I want to place the module under the seat and need to run a 10 gage positive wire from the battery to the module (only running (+), no ground from the battery to the module). In addition, I want to run lines for the Garmin, Starcom and eventually, Gerbring as well. The shortest, easiest path is under the tank, but I am worried about heat. I know that the fuel pump/tank wires are under there, so it seems like it should not be an issue. I will enclose all wires in a loom to further protect them.

Is the route for wiring that most take?

Thanks,

Greg

under the tank. the suggestion was to use a, i think asphalt impregnated, loom under the take to help with heat protection. napa is where i bought mine.

I have my lead from the battery to my pdb along the right side of the bike under the tank and along the frame. It is 10ga and run through wire loom as suggested by wpbfjr - I've done this on my last 3 fjr's, and have seen no damage to the wire loom or wire from heat or abrasion.

Thanks guys, that is exactly what I wanted to hear!

If you have a superior Gen II, you can run the wires under the tank above the foil insulation pad and not worry about heat. A loom or protective tape in strategic spots after that will prevent abrasion along the way to the rear.......
