    You can buy an Oxford power block with integrated relay so that the accessories are NOT powered when the engine isn't running.

    I have thought about one of these for my Kove but you can also get voltage protected heated grips now, that automatically switch off at a certain voltage.

    The problem is there is practically nowhere to fit one. There isabsolutely zero room under the seat or under the tank and there are no side panels. The bike also doesn't have a key ignition.
    It comes with a permanently live starter button and an "ignition" relay senses output from the alternator when theengine spins over, operates and energises the ignition and EFI circuitry. I wired in an ignition key which isolates the startercircuit, purely for a bit of security when refuelling etc., otherwise anyone could just jump on, press the starter and ride off. It does have a crap steering lock, of sorts but it's aPITA to lock/unlock and could be easily broken.

    Yesterday I lost a gift from my wife :heart: which I wore for nearly 7 years. A bracelet in the look of a motorcycle chain. :sob:
    After searching at several places I rode to a local dealer and bought me a new one. The old one was colored black and metal.
    Here is the new one.:)
