I have a powered relay which is triggered by the tail light circuit. This in turn powers a set of cheap fuses which power my heated grips, a cigarette socket, a lead for my heated jacket and a Gammatronix LED which shows the power coming out of the battery. I have ridden during the winter and have not had a problem with charging at all.
The idea of the small LED is to show me if the battery is struggling which on occasion has done as it will glow Orange, usually when I've got my heated jacket turned on and I've been at traffic lights, ticking over. A quick rev and she'll turn Green again or I just switch off the heated grips for a while until I get going again.

Hope this helps
Thanks ,but again is the power supply two wires (if so which is which) or just a single live feed ?? i also use the LED indicator for the generator , works fine when the bikes running but i have found it goes red when the bike is sitting not running ! i wonder is my battery on it"s way out !!
