Please, for the love of god, do not attempt anything electrical on your bike. It'll all end in tears.

And your lights come on with the ignition.

For the sake of about £4 I would have relayed it tbh. But if it works......

Hondapants, if you don't know what you are doing. Stop and get someone who does know.

I run with my lights on day or night anyway, so it's not an issue. Thumbs Up

I'd personally wire it straight to the battery and just don't have anything plugged in unless you're running the bike.

That's what I do on the CBF and the 650GS. I keep the cigarette charger wired on constantly, sits under the seat, no issues with battery running down just don't keep anything in it unless your running the bike. Works a treat.
