Another very helpful video about the 350. I’ve often wished that the front indicators could be dual purpose: fog lamps generally, which then turn off and function as indicators when needed.
I don't own this bike, maybe I'll never own one. However, your videos are a delight to watch. You are providing clear tutorials for anyone with basic technical knowledge to follow along. Thanks, and greetings from sunny Cyprus.
A nice simple and easy guide for folk to follow. Some riders might want to use a 12V relay operated by the 12 Volts from the Aux plug to power equipment if they don't have an LED headlight. They would follow the same wiring configuration as when you want to have Spotlights come on with High Beam only on our cars, back in the day. 😁 There's lot of easy to follow guides on TH-cam on how to wire up the 4 pin motor vehicle relay if people are unclear.
Hi Ricki Great to hear that you enjoyed the video and hopefully found it helpful 👍 You’re correct, there are many options available that can be used to wire up accessories, also depends on owners skill levels 😁
Thanks, from a Meteor 350 owner. I plan on adding a pair of Skene Photon Booster LEDs (0.2 amps each) up front for conspicuity, and will be using that headlight socket for power.
Thanks for that. I've already got Oxford heated grips on my wee 350, fitted by the dealer, not something I could manage myself! It wasn't cheap though!!! I will refer to your instructions when fitting the led bulbs. Thanks so much for your vids, look forward to the next one. Pete. Merry Christmas to you. 👍
Good Morning, I will collect my RE 350 Classic by the end of February from the dealer. Thank you for your practical advices. It's very helpful to learn all these improvements and I am very keen to start into my first RE season. Once again: keep on with your nice video productions and ride safely as well 🏍 🍀
Thanks TN, very impressive product for such a small outlay. I rushed to my local SBS and bought their last pair and they also sourced a 2nd for my other bike. I wrapped round my Classic 350’s grips without wiring them to see how they feel. Went for a short spin and sure they make the grips a bit bulkier but if you make sure the Velcro (the thinnest part) is in the palm then they feel decent and fine for non sporty riding; much more cost effective than heated gloves or heated replacement grips. As of writing SBS have one set left in Leeds and you can only buy them in person, not online😢. Absolute bargain. Thanks again.
Great to hear that you enjoyed the video and hopefully found it helpful 👍 Yes they do make the grips a bit bulkier but they do work well. Easy to slip off when the weather gets hotter.
Hi Ian Thank you so much for your kind words and also for supporting my channel during the past year. It’s very much appreciated. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Lovely update Ian. Very good price to keep your hands warm. Bumble had them fitted, when I purchased the bike. Which I would of added anyway. I found out, after bike was delivered, when your out playing about with the controls of your new toy. Bike was running and I turned on the grips, 5 settings. I felt the heat, fairly quickly. I switched of the engine, and thankfully noticed the light on the controller was still on. I know switch off a couple of miles from home, so there’s a wee charge going back. That wee led bulbs are bright, no brainer to change. That aux plug, I will look into, as it be well worth the upgrade. Just in case you need to plug something in, in the future.😊 Thanks Ian, you make it look simple. I am currently fighting water ingress on garage floor, blankets and towels, changed daily 😢 Best regards, Mark.😊😊
Hi Again Mark It’s so easy to leave the switch on for the heated grips and return to a flat battery. Another great option is to fit a Healtech Thunderbox to feed extra electrical items. I use one on my Tiger 900 and it’s brilliant. Bummer having water getting into your garage, not easy fixing at this time of year. Take care, Ian www.healtech-electronics.com/products/tb/
Thank you for a very informative (and clear!) video. I own my classic 350 for a couple of weeks now and installed my Tomtom Rider 550 running it of the USB port as if it was charging on my desk with no 12V connected but still mounted on the 12V bracket. Still not sure if I want to hook up the 12V feed from the accessory plug as you did or use the feed to the small position/marker (?) lights above the headlight. This will allow me to play with the Tomtom while the engine isn't running but still has the advantage to cut the feed with the ignition key. Wil have to see if I can get to that feed-line without too much trouble. The 12V bracket for the Tomtom Rider has a 12to5V-ish converter inside which draws about 5mA even if the Tomtom is away from the bracket. On my Deauville I ran the 12V cable straight to the battery and it does drain the battery, slowly but surely. And I will change both headlight and position light bulbs to LED ones. thanks for the tip !
Thanks so much for your videos! I’m going to install an accessory socket on the left side of the bike like you did. Question - how many holes did you drill to complete the install? One hole in the black side cover and how many other holes? Location of the holes?
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video and thank you for your supportive comments 👍 I only drilled the one hole for the power socket. The backing plastic plate has a square hole in it and I lined up the socket hole with that.
Thank you, that was most informative, is that spare socket is the one intended for the "tripper" navigation system please , or is there another one as well? Thank you.
Thanks very much, I looked on the forum, and it seems that on the early bikes (like mine) there were 2 sockets, one six pin micro plug for the tripper and a separate accessory plug. It seems that on later models, the loom has been changed, and the dedicated tripper plug with negative ,switched pos, and live pos has been removed, ( though, that's apocryphal) I contemplated a tripper, but an old iPhone (powered from the usb socket) and google maps made more sense. Keep up the good work, best regards...Pete@@tigerness5555
Great video. Thanks for your trouble. Where do you get you base information from - ie how did you know about the spare accessory socket? Did you say you had wired or a heated vest as well? By the way I used a Thunder Box on my NC750 for running accessories - I've been impressed by it. Ian

Hi Chris If you watch my video again you will see a red accessory socket inside the headlight shell that I’ve powered my heated grips from. It’s a Yazaki female connector and I’ve plugged a splitter cable into it to feed my TomTom and grips. If you look at the links below you’ll find info on the Yazaki connectors and also a splitter cable that’s available from Hitchcocks.

Can you please comment on the fact that, these replacement lamps for the `Tiger Eyes` clearly state that they are not for use on public roads. On the packaging, there is a warning which states... `Public roads use leads to cancellation of operating license and loss of insurance coverage.` Am I worrying about nothing? Love the video but not sure about buying those lamps. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it was useful to you 👍 Yes that’s what it says on the packaging, it’s entirely up to you if you fit them or not. They’re no where near as bright as some of the aftermarket lights people fit to their bikes, so I don’t see it being an issue.
I didn’t use any crimping tool, I simply used a pair of pointed pliers that I have in my toolbox. I’m not sure what specific tool you would actually use. Unfortunately, I’m not really able to help but I hope you enjoyed the video anyway and found it useful.

The aux connector inside the headlight shell should be able to supply power to LED auxiliary lights. I run heated grips from mine during the winter months. Great to hear that you’re enjoying my channel 😁👍

The Keis kit that I have comes with connections that connect straight to the battery. This is what I essentially have, but I’ve cut the Keis cable and inserted a DIN socket into the empty side panel on the left hand side, and fitted a DIN plug to the Keis lead.

This may seem like a very unnecessary question, but where do you pick the feed up from the back of the headlight to the grips?

Yes, that`s pretty much what I thought...some cyclists have lights on that dazzle loads.
Novice question, but what sort of crimper do you need for those male and female plugs? Cheers.
I didn’t use any crimping tool, I simply used a pair of pointed pliers that I have in my toolbox. I’m not sure what specific tool you would actually use.
