Re: [ST] Hardwire your GPS

[Karl Clark <kctex99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Todd, do you happen to have a battery tender on your
motorcycle? I do, and I bought a second connector so
that when I'm riding I plug my radio in using the
battery tender connector. Quick an easy.
Otherwise your going to need a test light/probe and
punch around on the fuse block and look for a hot and
ground. Don't forget to add a fuse to the link for
safety's sake.
