Suggestions for GPS and Heated Gear Hookups for Non-Handy Rider?

[hitejp]

I'm not good at electrical stuff. But I have a new 2021 Super Tenere ES 1200 and need to be able to wire up a Zumo GPS and Gerbing heated gear.
I've searched through a bunch of the forum posts but most of the electrical work y'all are doing seems way above my abilities.
Are there any "easy" ways (other than direct connect to battery --- which I want to avoid) to add a couple of accessories (the GPS and heated gear)?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions you can lend.

Read up on using a fuse block. There are a lot of different ones out there, but I'm a fan of the PC-8. Pretty straightforward to use. Once installed, makes wiring up accessories relatively easy.

This is what I have. The S10 is my second bike and it followed me when I sold my first bike

Wow, that's hardcore. Probably a bit more than I want or need. But very cool to read about it. Thanks!

I bought one of these. Plugs right into existing extra plug on the bike and then you have 3/4 extra plugs.

The FZ-1 comes with dead simple instructions and the FuzeBlock can go in one of several places. The battery red wire goes to the top left, the ground to the top right, and you can connect to the cigarette lighter wire for "Low power switched line." Put a fuse in the left set of holes (shown with red fuse) for the accessory to always have power, even when the bike is off. Put the fuse in the right set of holes and the accessory will only get power when the key is on. (Captioned "Set for switched power")

For heated gear I use my battery pigtail with an adapter, works well.

That’s also how I’ve had heated gear hooked up on my Goldwing trouble free for the past 20 years but I am considering getting the Thunder Box for the Tenere

If I only had one "add on" that would work fine. Trying to avoid having 4-5 pigtails attached to the battery.

Can you take a picture or two for me? Just do I have an idea where to start? Thanks in advance.

marine grad fuse block , cheap and easy to wire up. send power to it and then distribute power from the fuse block to what ever you are powering. I put mine where the useless tool kit goes .

Probably the best way. I use an SAE pigtail so it takes my heated gear and and my battery tender. GPS i would hook into the cigarette lighter wiring.
