【HONDA】Mounting Attachment Review

Necessary for Honda Grich

Attachment is required for the Honda Grip heater.
This VFR1200 can be installed in the NINJA1000.

I prepared the coupler because I branched the power supply from the position lamp.

It's been two years and so far it's working fine.

By the way, it's a Honda grich and a little low-throated, so it's been throttled. View detail

It is subtle.

It is easier to work if the length of the Joint part is a little longer, but it was too short to work.
The fusion Tape seems to be more than Vinyl Tape.

With Grip heater and Set

Harness and Tying Band etc. necessary for attaching the Grip heater are set to the Set.

The detailed Instruction Manual on installation is attached to this Attachment.
Please note that Installation Instruction Manual is not attached to Grip Heater Body.

As the Instruction Manual details all the installation procedures carefully, "Removing Fuel Tank" , "Remove Side cover & Tail cowl" If these two can be done, I think that even an amateur will manage it.
It is also the first time to remove the Accelerator grip and Harness' s handling was difficult with gigging, but it took about 3 hours a day for 5 days (Total 15 hours) I did it, somehow attached.
By the way, when asking for installation at the Honda DREAM store, the labor charge is about 15,000 yen.
Given the labor and failure Risk, it may not be expensive at all.

Finally, we list the parts that were difficult to install and those that did not go to the Instruction Manual.

- "Remove Battery cover and drill a hole with Drill"
Since Bolt for removing Battery cover is in a very confusing place, we abandoned drilling and fixed the Grip heater Controller with Double-sided Tape only. (Self-responsibility)

- "Pass the Harness of Grip heater through the VinylBoots that protects the Couplers around Rear"
That's impossible.. How do you pass it?.
Since it can not be helped, we ignored the Boots and handled, and the exposed Coupler rolled the Vinyl Tape and protected it. (Self-responsibility)

- "Pass the Grip heater harness under the Frame"
Since Harness has several terminals as branches, it is very difficult to get the terminal caught and pass under the Frame as it is.
So, I used all the terminals in Harness as a thin Tying Band as shown in the picture so that I could connect to one.
With this I managed to walk around Harness. View detail

Certain Quality of OEM Product!

Although it is only OEM's dedicated Harness, it is very good, but I tried using CB 1300SB for installation on VTR-F which does not have a car type setting, but Harness was too long and it was quite extra. The remaining part is not cut and it is put in the storage section under the Seat collectively, but thanks to the 1 / I occupied about 3.
Connection was connected with Wiring in the Tail section of the OEM, so it did not match, so I bought the receiving Blinker connector as it is and made another Wiring, so it is less than 5 A so it is not necessary much, but to be sure, 4 - pole Relay is connected to Battery We are supplying power.
We are taking Attachment from OptionSocket as Relay's Coil power supply. Harness itself has good quality of OEM and it is very good thing and there is no feeling that price is too high, but if you can do not only exclusive use car model but also think that it is good to have usual Bullet Terminal or uncut Universal Harness Was.

Diversion to HORNET 250

I bought it to attach a Sports Grip heater to HORNET 250.
This Harness kit is designed to take power from the Coupler for the Blinker of the vehicle Rear, but it is different in shape from the HORNET 250 and can not be used as it is.
However, because there is a Coupler of Blinker relay in the same position, if you devise a bit, you can secure power by interrupt from there.
Also, because the branching position of Wiring that installs the Controller comes well around the Side cover in a nice way, you do not have to worry about installing the Controller.
It is self-responsibility to the last, I think that it is exactly good for diversion. View detail
