An electrical question for you fine two-wheeled folks

May 26, 2013 22:36

I am working on this electrical project for my SV, with some minor modifications.  Basically, I want a power source off the bike that's not hot when the bike isn't running.  My grip heaters are always hot, and I forgot to turn them off one day and ran the battery down.  I hope to take care of that problem, and also add an accessory outlet for a GPS as well as a connection for a heated jacket.

What I'm wondering about from this chap's plans is, if I'm using a 12V/30A relay, and the line fuse is 15A, wouldn't a lower amp relay also work?  I'm afraid I don't understand enough about the relay to know what matters and what doesn't.

ETA: The damn link
