Do I bolt the relay to the battery? Or to the frame?

You typically mount the relay near the battery but not on the battery itself. Try to find a location that is dry and easy to access should you need to change the relay in the future.

If you're meaning the relay body and its metal flange, bolt it/screw down onto something metal.

The positive wire thats the one with the relay you can ether hook it to the cigarette lighter or straight to the battery. And the negative to the negative side on the battery, if you go strait to the battery the light on switch will be on all the time. Ether way works well. Good luck

If you wire it in to the ignition switch. I wired mine with a fuse and toggle direct to the battery

You don't need any fuses for the panels. Even if shorted it's not a problem. You likely shouldn't use a fuse on battery either cause it draws a lot of current depending on its use. Most things are protected now as long as you don't short across you battery.

Rip the box apart. The only other place maybe in the hood where the battery goes. Sorry it's been over a year since I built ours

You need to unscrew the bolts that connect the +(red) & - (black) battery cables to the battery and put that screw through the battery tender connector, red to battery cable red & black to battery cable black and reconnect to the battery. If you have clamps that hold your battery cables to the battery posts you can take the nut off of the bolt that goes through the battery clamp, put the battery tender connector on the bolt & put the nut back on the clamp bolt & tighten the nut. Make sure you put the red battery tender wire with the + (red) battery cable & the - (black) battery cable. If this doesn`t help you might want to consult a mechanic. Good luck!

I wired mine direct to the battery and installed an on/off toggle switch. $2 from ace hardware

I didn't use a fuse block I went straight to the battery. I used the wire that came with the winch and have had no problems.

You have to loosen the nut on the battery terminal and strip the wire and secure it under the nut. I went and bought an open terminal instead of using bare wire.

My installation is grounded to the negative side of the battery, I recall the manufactures installation instructions showed a negative and a positive ground diagram so you should be able to do either.

I was not aware of one and I hooked it up without breaking it.If you have a panel in the sun however, I would think that hooking up the batteries and any accessories first would be the right thing to do, followed by the panels connection

Wire it to a toggle switch, or put a inline fuse on it and remove the fuse when not in use

Yes, you attach directly to battery terminals. Not sure about your handlebars for the bolt size

connect the battery first, then connect the solar panel, then connect the load

You should be good if you hook it to either the starter or lights some how if you hook it directly to the battery just make sure you turn off the power when bike is not running

Connect it straight to your battery. Use something like this: Scosche EBT Battery Terminal with ABS Cover Get one for Positive and one for Negative. Use size 12 AWG wire. You might be able to run just a black wire to battery, and the red to like a seat bolt or something as ground if it's easier, but a battery ground is never a fail. Good luck!

I wouldn't. Most people suggest using a direct connection to the battery with a relay even for just one since the current draw can blow the fuse on your factory wiring. With 2 you will definitely exceed the amperage rating and will need to wire them directly to the battery. If this sounds scary, it isn't. The wiring kit they sell on here comes with everything you need and works well. I have 2 on my Harley using their Kit.

Have someone who knows wiring help you. Basically, you will connect the wires directly to your battery (or a fuse, if you wish) with the appropriate connector soldered on. one on the Red wire and one on the black. The connector looks like and "O" with a spot for the wire to be either crimped or soldered on.
