They offer a pre-made harness that includes the relay. I was looking for one that had a relay installed and that's where I ran into the PDM60 which seemed like a clean, waterproof installation. The $6 solution isn't optimal as there is no power bus bar and the spade connectors are less vibration proof than the screw connections of the PC8.

I frequently get comments such as "if the engineers at BMW thought that such and such should be done that way they would have done it at the factory" or "do you think you know how to do something better than the BMW engineers?". If you frequent some of the BMW Airhead forums or email lists, you'll find tons of such comments. Most just drive people away so you are soon left with a large group that bought into this. ADVrider is just as bad. <br /><br />There are quite a few who have said that I'm an accident waiting to happen since BMW hasn't approved a motorcycle for sidecar use since the /5 was introduced in 1969.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-11998492436448949632014-03-17T21:36:46.342-08:002014-03-17T21:36:46.342-08:00My glove box is my tank bag.

The Enduralast alternator, the 30 amp fuse for the fuse block and the "sense" wire for the Datel voltmeter. I have all of them connected and fused independently. I almost disconnected the car battery in the sidecar but it was promising to be below 0°F for a few more weeks.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-74981603341779439202014-03-17T10:41:24.972-08:002014-03-17T10:41:24.972-08:00A nice "clean" install Richard, unlike m...A nice "clean" install Richard, unlike my efforts involving wiring.....redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-18504429213599907742014-03-17T09:46:59.834-08:002014-03-17T09:46:59.834-08:00Yep, pretty easy and doing anything else seems lik...Yep, pretty easy and doing anything else seems like too much trouble. Placement of any watermark is a balance that I'm not sure I want to mess with. I've read some stuff posted by professional photographers and they say, placement should be in a complex part of the photo, large enough to be difficult to remove and in an "important" part of the photo. I.e. not in a location that can be cropped without losing the subject. I'm not a professional and my snapshots are just that, snapshots.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-57065446853853631902014-03-17T09:32:13.711-08:002014-03-17T09:32:13.711-08:00Off subject, but I noticed your watermark.
