    Guys,
    Can anyone tell me know if the VFR800Fi has an auxillary power source tucked away somewhere behind the fairings? If yes, where could I find it?
    I plan to fit heated grips and a battery status monitor at the weekend so would be handy.

    Ideally I want a switched source and I can connect to a relay for the main feed from the battery.

    Thanks in advance, I searched first but didn't find anything about it.

    Not on a stock model that I know of, if you're speaking of some kind of plug-in power source.

    Nope, not stock. Many people have added just what you mentioned without problems, though.

    I am not talking about a cigarette lighter type socket, more a pair of wires "+" and "-".

    I have two bikes. On the NT650V there is a pair of wires tucked into the fairing at the front with spade connectors, a negative earth and a positive supply which comes on with the ignition. Just looking for something similar on the VFR?

    The heated grips and battery monitor will be permanenty connected, not plugged in.

    I will just find a positive switched feed at the fusebox and bring this to the relay, with a direct positive lead from the battery.

    I prefer the wiremybike.com site. they offer a plug and play kit that has two loose wires, one positive, one negative.

    You could install a fuse box powered by the battery via a relay.
    Search for fuse panel or fuse box install
