Does anyone know about KLR electricals? I want to add a few accessories and
want to see what kind of load the stock system will take. Things I'm
thinking about adding: A louder horn (suggestions?), GPS, additional
lighting, etc.
If there are web links or resources, I'd like to hear about them from other
riders.

Ron:
The Professor (Jim Hyman) is the resident KLR electrical system expert on
this list. Check out his excellent color electrical system diagram and
suggested electrical upgrades in the files section on the YahooGroups page.
Search the archives for more information at:

MotorMark has a page on adding a 12V outlet for the GPS and a horn mod page
at:

I hope this gets you started,
John

Dr. Krok has put together a great fuse relocation kit that should
be the first step of an electrical upgrade. I'm planning on
installing one over the winter.
Once that's done, I'm going to install a high wattage headlight
(80/100) that I got from Fred. I'll be pairing that with a bakalite
headlight socket from NAPA. Someone suggested that I run a
wire straight from the battery to a relay for the new bulb, and
control the relay using the headlight switch. If it doesn't get too
complicated, I may try that out.
I do have one additional question... Can you use a Battery
Tender pigtail to hook up an Aerostich electric vest?
Thanks,
Ralph

For those in the SF Bay area--Tomorrow (Sat) at the Barnes and Noble in
Fremont moto-journalists Clement Salvadori and Allen Girdler will be doing a
book signing from 3-5 pm. Clement will have his Baja Guidebooks and his new
California book (both from Whitehorse Press). I don't know Girdler but
Clement is a most entertaining guy, stop by and say hello if you're in the
area. And no matter what he says that is NOT ME in the photo with the upside
down BMW. I am much younger and slimmer than the man pictured.
Regards,
Kurt Grife
