Nice and clear instructions, Chris !!! For powered accessories, this is the way to go.
Thanks Chris. I have all the supplies ready for the module to start selling. This was great and I am now able to hook up my Muth Mirror turn signal wires. I've installed and stored the wires waiting for the distribution block. I will store the excess Wago Connectors in one of the black boxes you suggested when rewiring your bike originally. Then I'll be good to go for the future. Lucked out having got with the Pathfinder products thanks to your suggestions on accessories two years ago. I like the weatherproof unit and the sizing. Well done, as always.
Pathfinder is top shelf. Looks great Cruise.
For years I had the 20A power block and finally upgraded to this block for the additional amperage handling to 60A. Thanks again Cruiseman.
Thanks Cruiseman - I am ordering and installing for "future" because every time I look at making an additions to my '20 DCT this is the best and easiest connection for multiple products not necessarily from the same vendor/maker.
Hi Chris - Just thought I'd mention to you that I installed this Power Accessory Hub a couple days ago. Very simple and straightforward thanks to your video. I already have a number of Pathfinder products so this made alot of sense. BTW, sorry about your accident. My bike looks exactly like yours so I feel bad about what you are dealing with. While I'm typing let me take a moment to thank you for all your help and instructions. I watch everything you post and enjoy them. Plus, several years ago I purchased your video's and they have saved me a ton of $$$. Again, I'm grateful. This is just a quick message to say "Thank You!"
My bike already had a Electrical Connection trailer isolator. I used the trailer outputs to power a trunk mounted Goldstrike Tourblade light. Used posi-taps to tap the circuits downstream of the isolator. These Wago lever nuts appear to be a way cooler and safer way to share output circuits. Thanks Chris!
I didn't realize this. But used a isolation relay to add my trailer lights. I recently bought a late model Toyota and am planning on installing a trailer hitch. It also requires an isolation relay. Learned all about them from your videos. Thanks buddy.
Ive been looking forward to this video, Chris. Good job! I have lots of accessories (lighted or otherwise powered) installed by the dealer and I've been waiting for this block to come out to clean up all the extra wiring and protect y the can bus electrical system. All of my accessories are either OEM or Pathfinder, which is quality stuff. Thanks again!
Sounds great!
Thank you for sharing I just purchased this and I am planning on installing the rear LED brake running lights with turn signals at the lower saddlebag area
Just watched the video premiere Live chat with my buddies. Great video and info Cruise Man! Will be waiting to get this when it is available.
They now say they will be shipping in May!
Good video as usual Cruiseman. Stay safe and ride safely.
Thanks 👍
I ordered and received the Power Accessory Hub and it is all that Chris describes, and more. I looked at Show Chrome and Electrical Connection and others for this type of additive device. I was happy to see that Pathfinder/SocalMotoGear produced this alternative. I have their harness and have three of their other lighting products installed on my 19 GW DCT. I installed it this week and used Chris' install video here and others he produced to install the Show Chrome unit. I used the Wago connectors on the ends of the Pathfinder Hub trigger wires and used a black box to hide and secure them with out of site. His instructions were perfect and I am a happy camper. I used the Wago connector to do the final wiring for my Muth Mirrors which work perfectly. I now have the ability to add other electronics to the bike as my Pathfinder Harness is full. Highly recommend this accessory. Thank you Cruisman for your videos and these accessory installl productions.
What is the point of the show Chrome box if you have the Pathfinder box, or do you need both?
@@curtisbull1583 you only need one. There are 4 or more all good products. Cruiseman has done videos on the install of Show Chrome and Pathfinder. The latter I found met my needs. Now that Cruiseman is sponsored by Show Chrome he will likely favor his older footage when installing their products. though he changed to Pathfinder I believe.
Good work!..as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Chris - I just picked up my 2023 GL1800D. Your videos are great! I ordered the PAH60GW power distribution module and a pair of duplex USB outlets w/ voltmeter. I'll let you know if there are any significant deviations from your installation videos. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate what you've learned via hard knocks. Jay

Thanks for this one, I ordered the Waco connectors and the Pathfinder Power Distribution panel. Chris where is the video of all the wiring cleaned up?
That first comment below was me. I somehow wound up with 2 TH-cam channels and can't figure out how to merge them. Anyway, looking forward to it.
Dang, you make it look so easy I am tempted to add lights to my 2018 non-tour using this product instead of letting the dealer do it. Have the Pathfinder fog lights and cowl lights in my cart and just waiting until I can add the power hub and the new Saddlebag LED lights. Also planning on adding the Muth Signal Mirrors.
Do the work yourself. Don't pay the dealer. I have added just about every light you can to that bike myself. It is easy and straight forward. Just take your time.
Looks clean and simple. I have the Kisan Tail Blazer brake light modulator - do the saddlebag harnesses interface with Kisan harnesses electrically and how badly do they all compete for space in that tight area?
We will be spending some quality time together in my garage this weekend 😊
Hey Chris!
Is this what I need to connect a trailer to my 23 goldwing ?
Meaning, I can add this and then connect my trailer connector to those outputs?
Also do the outputs do the same as the inputs like the turn signal outputs still flash ?
Hello cruiseman, i already bought the four accessory connector from goldstrike. Which one would I need and can incorporate the four accessory connector?
Good evening were you able to use your Cowl Lights, LED Rotor Cover and Engine Lights with your Pathfinder L.E.D Power Accessory Hub. If so did you use Goldstrike 48000 plug n play connector?
Too bad I just got the showchrome isolator kit. Fortunately, I haven't installed it yet. This product seems to be much more user-friendly for the novice electrician as myself. Lol. It's on back order until May.
question Chris! this work with other brand acc? kuryakyn and ciro/goldstrike
Wondering if your battery tender should be connected directly to the battery or this hub? Connecting it to the hub reduces the number of items on the battery.
Looking forward to this new video...
Hope you enjoyed it!
Which hub is best for a 2021 Goldwing the PAH60 or the 52-942?
Question, I have the trailblazer harness plugged into the bike on both sides when I plug this harness in can I plug it in on the backside so that all the brake lights will pulsate or should I plug it in on the front side of the harness or it just operates? Thank you Cruise man
Can you use the tail light wires for trailer wires?
This is the second product you have reviewed that is not available until after June?
My question is: you recommend to use wago 222 connectors but now they have a 221 which is clear and smaller. Is there any issues with using the 221 connectors.
So according to this, the CAN buss is breaking out of the wiring harness to operate that isolation device. That is the break out wires are not 12v run, brake, left, and right?
Now how do you strobe your brake light?
New to your channel and loving it, Cruiseman! Quick question: How does Pathfinder LED PDM match up to Rowe PDM60?
I have not tested the Rowe, but have heard good things about it. Feature-wise, they are nearly identical.
Hi Chris, great video! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these! Question....can you connect the PFLED G184XP harness INLINE with the PAH60GW harness to add the plug-n-play connectors for additional PFLED accessories that can be installed later? If not, I guess I'll be cutting off the plug-n-play connectors from other PFLED products and running the wires into the WAGO connectors :)
You should be able to connect inline, but a better solution would to be to buy the PAH60GX (without the harness) and use your existing harness to connect the PAH60, then, remove ALL accessories from the G184XP, cut off the connectors and wire them into the PAH60 using the WAGO connectors.
@@cruisemansgarage Great suggestion, Chris. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!
"Cruiseman" I have a question for you. I have just received the PathfinderLED Power Hub. I have a Rivco hitch w/ a Kuryakyn Relay assy for the trailer lights. Would you recommend eliminating that relay and connect harness to hub? Or is that relay required for the trailer lights operation?
I do like this new power hub. A very well constructed unit.
I have my trailer wires connected directly to my PathfinderLED Hub.
Have you used the newer WAGO 221-415 Lever-Nuts 5 Conductor Compact Connectors which are smaller and transparent?
Al, testing them now.
Hello Cruiseman, I was wondering if you wired your trailer harness directly to the pathfinder power accessory hub and if so is there a wiring diagram for doing that?
I would like to do that with my pathfinder power hub without using another isolation bus.
thanks for all your work.
I did. It will be different for every trailer based on their wiring scheme. If you can get the wiring color codes for your trailer (run, brake, left turn, right turn, ground, etc.) from your trailer manufacturer, you just match those up to the correct terminals on the Pathfinder.
What do you think of the rowe electronics amplink power distribution module for the 2018 honda goldwing?
Have not tested it, but it appears to be an excellent unit.
Would you recommend this over the Showchrome isolator fuse block?
Mark did you get or find a response to this very question?
I have this question right now.🤔
As with you, I currently have the Show Chrome Isolation Fuse Block. Did you every experience damage from water while using it, Chris?
I did not.
hello, on peut connecter trois accessoires sur un plug and play, il me reste deux places et je dois monter un feu stop sequential a led. dois-je forcement acheter ce boitier ou mon plug and play suffit ? merci
Chris, I'm about to install the Pathfinder Power Accessory Hub in my new 2021 GW Tour DCT. 2 questions: 1) Is it Ok to remove the fuses from my two heated gear wiring harnesses if I connect them to the Pathfinder Hub? 2) I When connecting the Scosche Battery Jumper and SAE trickle charger adapter, do you recommend connecting that to the Pathfinder Hub or directly to the battery? I'd prefer to the hub to reduce the clutter under the left side cover.
Thanks for all the great vids--really enjoy the high quality production values--Phil
Phillip, (1) you could remove the fuses, but no real need to, it just provides double protection. (2) The SCOSCHE battery jumper harness should be wired directly to the battery, not to the Power Accessory Hub.
@@cruisemansgarage Thanks Chris.
Hi Chris - Hope you are well and riding. Love your channel. So I have a trailer coming and plan to wire a seperate harness from my Pathfinder LED power accessory hub to run my trailer lighting. Is this going to work for me or do I need to get something else that I probably won’t have room for under my seat. 😁
Nope, you can wire everything directly to the PathfinderLED PAH.
Great! So glad I added that PathFinder LED power accessory unit. It been a game changer for me! Nice video on installing it too!
Does this take the place of the Isolation Fuse Block from Show Chrome?
Yes
Hmmmmm, looking for this for a Honda Africa Twin but it doesn't have the Saddlebag connectors. Wondering whether Pathfinder is planning to release these for any other bikes.
Also, realistically, how many lights can you hook up to the device?
Yes, there is a universal model available PAH60UN. As for how many lights, as ling as you don’t exceed the amperage limits, as many as you want. A typical LED will only pull a couple of amps, if that.
Hi Chris - I've recently bought a 2021 non tour Gold Wing, that I'm gradually apparently turning into a tour model. I've installed the color matched trunk. But man there is a lack of lighting on the back of this thing. I want to install a high mount stop/turn light on the trunk, but I'm not crazy about the Pathfinder spoiler light, but I love the turn signals that mount at the bottom of the saddle bags. Okay so here's my question can the Gold Strike light be powered with this Power Accessory Hub? And in the example of the saddle bag turn signals, can't you just get the type of connector that is on the light wiring to put on the PAH? Hope I'm making sense. I used to make molex plugs for changing parts in furnaces with universal replacement parts, so I could easily connect. I'd like to be able to add more lights, but only want to have to install one accessory wiring device.
Yes, you should be able to power any accessories with the power hub.
Kind of wish your video showed where exactly each of those little wires from all the sources that go into the WAGOs came from. I know you SAID what each one was, but exactly WHERE did you get them and make the cuts. Sorry. Just want to make sure before I get to snipping! lol
Cruiseman, 2 questions. I bought your maintenance video s I 2020/21. I have no idea where to locate them . Can you help please. Secondly I’ve just watched mr whites channel. Is this the same system he installed on his 23 goldwing?
When did you purchase the videos? Yes, the same as Robert White’s. Check cruisemansgarage.com/help.html
Can you use any brand of accessories with this controller? Thank you!
Duh! I missed the part where you explained the wiring colors! Sorry
Yes, you can use any brand accessories
Would it be good to pair the pathfinder pah60 with the electrical connections lighting distribution block instead of using those Wago connectors?
It's a matter of personal preference. Either will work fine.
@@cruisemansgarage only down side is that EC distribution block is expensive...
I believe you previously installed the Showchrome version of this - I take it the Pathfinder is better?
Not sure if I would necessarily say "better", but it does have some features that the Show Chrome lacks.
Thanks
I already have the Showchrome block. Which do you like better?
Both are good, I lean toward the PathfinderLED because of the compact size and the weatherproof design.
@@cruisemansgarage does the pathfinder use circuit protection such as fuze to prevent shorts and overload ?
@@Fireball1800 it does have protection, but all digital.
Is that hot wire always hot even when the bike is off?
Yes.
These ist also a new version for the 2021 US model. I don't know, what they changed with the 2021; gut i've been told, it only affects the US version, not the Europeen once.......
Maybe you could find out, what changed?
I think there was a change to the circuitry for the brake light. This only affects the 2021 Goldwings. Honda made some changes to the voltage of the 2021 taillights.
Are you now saying the G184xp is really no good on its own and should be supplemented with this new hub?
Not saying it is no good, but it does nothing to protect your CANBUS system.
Do you still use and support this unit! I’m thinking of adding it to my 2019 GW.
Absolutely. Love it.
@@cruisemansgarage Thanks. I'll order it right away.
My L.I. Honda Mechanic Kept the Show Chrome Box In. PATHFINDER Dist. Power Hub with the WAGO clips (would need 12 in a row)Not waterproof) (We live Northeast and close to water- Too Damp here. Got Pathfinder Lights Front and Rear . Talk to Your Mechanic first if you already have a show chrome box.(now I got to sell This Pathfinder Power Dist. Hub And Wago clips)
Sometime in 2020 I think
We need same video for 2017 and below
I will check on that.
Any body help me please.. 94 wing .. help

Are you able to connect Gerbing heated gear to this system?
I am not sure about the amp draw of Gerbings, but I do believe that the Switched circuit is able to handle heated gear.
@@cruisemansgarage thank you, it's 6.7 amps
@@azmotorcop The HOT circuit (always on) is 20a and the ACC (switched) is 8a. If your controls have switches, you could run them off of the HOT circuit.
You are always helpful, the Goldwing community is better and more enjoyable because of what you do! Thank you!
I have a big issue with this video mainly because of the order you are doing things. You should disconnect your battery ground and hot as instructed but the battery ground should be the last thing you connect. All connections should be connected completely before this step and your video clearly does not show that. In my opinion your video should be corrected. Your video is showing a unsafe process. I have watched many of your videos and this one is so wrong.
