*86 ground to the battery negative terminal
'''(I ran one wire to the battery as a ground. I think it doesn't matter as it will take the shortest path from there to the best ground. I think the bike's frame is grounded to the battery anyhow - but that would be an interesting question)'''''Italic text''

*The main power comes from the battery, through the new in-line fuse holder, to the #30 pin on the relay. The fuse holder wire might not be long enough to reach the relay. If so, crimp in a longer wire. Always keep the unfused portion of a wire as short as possible, so try to hook the fuse holder directly to the battery, then run the longer wire to the relay (after the fuse).

*Terminals 85 and 86 are the 'trigger' circuit. This is what makes the relay fire. When a circuit is made through this pair, by turning the key on, a switch on the pair 30-87 is toggled from open to closed. When this switch is closed, 30-87 are connected; this connects the battery to the new fusebox and powers your accessories. For this install the positive side (85) was taken from the horn circuit at the stock fuse box. '''''The ground (86) goes to ______________'''''
*Terminal 87 gets hooked to the main positive connector on the Bussman box.
 
'''(Actually I suggest something that is not important, like the license plate light, as the trigger source. If something messes up, I'd rather be down my light than down my horn)'''''Italic text''


'''''>>Ryan - Personal preference here as I use my license plate light a lot more than my horn. If my LP light goes out I'm likely to be stopped by the police.'''''

***Horn circuit it is, then. Sorry woot.

The Buss doesn't provide a 'ground' terminal on their unit. So, you can add a ground post (lower right corner) to compliment the power lead. '''''Do this by blah, blah, blah.... '''''

>>rats4ever: *Edit* Did you run a wire from the ground post to the negative post on the battery or the frame anywhere?
