Good advice here too, thanks! The part about? jamming the wire into the fusebox worried me a bit too. Everything else looks clean.

One option which I prefer: if I am able to have a peep at my bike every now and then from a distance or from inside a store, my technique==> cover my Garmin76csx with the helmet and wrap the chin-strap around the base of mount just to give it a locked feel (slow down the thief in his? motive)& if you have tinted or shaded visor people won’t even notice the GPS inside the helmet

If you go right to the battery, it will drain the battery? in time due to the constant draw.

Would this work on a Suzuki? DR-Z 400 SM?

Hey thanks for the reply and thats great to hear! I know it sounds odd to add a GPS to a bike such as the DR-Z but my sense of direction is horrible ha and the GPS makes? sense on the bike. I like to take detours and sometimes I end up getting lost along the way. Do you think I would see a big difference (maintenance, cold starting, winterzing) with the carb compared to EFI bike?

For the part on the fuse box, if you wanted. You could take a little more time and take? the fuse box out and use a quick splice. It is easy and quick to splice the new wire into the old one, and you can wrap it to make it water proof.
