Swapping the heated grips etc from old bike to new bike...

Distribution block is a set of contacts to plug accessories into - like GPS's, heated grips, radar detectors etc...powered by a relay and switched from the ignition system. Mine lives under the seat - close to the battery.

Linky HERE. Well worth the hassle and easy enough to do. I meantasay - even I could do it...

The say the better part of valour is living to fight another day. When your financially down don't force yourself under - position yourself for when times are better.

Wait till things are starting to financially improve, then take the plunge.

EDIT: You'll be happy with the SV for a bit longer if you decide you'll be happy. This is purely a head thing!
EDIT EDIT: Too late, I see you have done the deed!

I think you need to add an "EDIT: I see it's too late" not tryna dig at you but it seems like he has made up his mind.

Why would it be a fire hazard?

As for ready made... Where's you DIY DNA then?
