Help needed to run wiring from battery to handlebar

I ordered the maintenance manual, but it will not arrive until a week or so. I need information on the easiest way to run wiring from battery to handlebar area. I got the kit from optimate to have a usb port to charge my phone, gps, etc ... I should have no problem to secure it cleanly in the front near the phone/gps supports.

I am not very confident about removing parts of the fairing as this task seems very complicated. I am not too sure on how to lift the gas tank which seems even more complex....

What would be the easiest way to run the wire ? Which part of the fairing should I remove ? Photos of similar installations would be of great help.

I included a photo of the Optimate kit I purchase, ( less than 40$) .

Thanks for any help/information provided.

 

Maybe I am missing something but I don't know which VFR you have? If I knew which version of VFR you had I might be able to give you some direction.

 

Sorry about that, I have the vfr800 2015

 

I can't help ya mate. That's too new for me. Anyone had the fairing and tank off or up on a 2015? (Is that considered an 8th gen?)

 

Have posted replies in the other forums you have asked the same question in.

All info you need is in owners manual.

 

I read the manual, (a few times), but could not find information on how to remove the side panels that are attached to the tank.

I removed the two screws holding the side panels but they are still secured to the tank with no visible screws or clips that I could find. I am worried that those plastic anchor points may break if mishandled or forced.

What is the procedure to remove the side panels ? (of the 8th generation) . A photo of the tank with the side panels off sure would be helpful to understand how it is attached.

 

If you go to the Bike bandit website they have the exploded views in their OEM parts section here is a link http://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/2014-honda-interceptor-vfr800f/o/m156360#sch849143 this may help you visualize what's happening. I'm afraid I haven't had mine that far apart yet so I have no personal experience to share.

 

Thanks for the help. The link to bike bandit is now in 'My favorite'
I completed the job in about an hour. You can view photos on the other vfr forum: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index....eded-to-run-wiring-from-battery-to-handlebar/
