On the 2013, the Honda Accessory Harness 6P connector resides on the frame at the mid left side of the motorcycle, sort of just below the frunk/seat junction. The four connector accessory harness attaches there. Then from there, Honda uses an additional harness for heated grip attachment. See instructions for heated grip installation here: http://cssportal.css-club.net/honda/MCA/contents/20121109165721_3157.pdfIt's a 20113 NC700X.
Pictures are of the area behind the forks/triple clamps, left side. If you look at the 2nd pic, you can see the radiator and the front fender covered by a cloth.
That accessory harness looks a lot like the Quartet Harness on ST's.... Wonder why....On the 2013, the Honda Accessory Harness 6P connector resides....
You’ll have a 7.5 amp total capacity for the 4 harness plugs. The relay is closed and the harness outputs powered when the bike key is on. One connector on the harness has a third wire (blue). It is hot when the high beam is on. With some auxiliary light controllers, you can control aux light intensity by triggering off this high beam signal.Makes sense, thanks dduelin.
So I'm covered capacity-wise, relay-wise, just have to know how to tap into one of the extra leads on the sub harness?
You can cut off the Honda connector and splice or connect the wires any way you like. But in my book, the proper way is to obtain matching connectors for your accessory wire, and plug it into the Honda connector as Honda would do it. There are some threads that talk about sourcing the connectors; here is one: https://www.nc700-forum.com/threads/corresponding-connectors.3146/ I had obtained these connectors for my 2012 long ago and they were an exact match. I’m not sure if that particular source is still active, but there have been more recent threads mentioning sources. Eastern Beaver may be one.But first I have to connect the lights to the sub harness, so re the 4 sub harness plugs, did you cut off one of the plugs and and add connectors to connect to the light leads or is there an adaptor to convert the light leads into a match for the sub harness plugs (I know, I'm an ignoramus with this stuff).
