I used a little fuse | I used a little fuse piggy back tap to take a power feed from an existing switched circuit and used this to fire a relay which provides power to the wiper and washer when the ignition is switched on. | ||
The on off switches and relays for the wiper and washer switches are all contained within a small ABS project box mounted on the frame at the front next to the wiper motor which is quite neat. Its a little stretch to operate the wiper when moving, but since it is only necessary to operate | I was worried that somebody might switch the wiper on while the bike is parked and scratch up the windscreen/run down the battery so this was an important feature. | ||

Its a little stretch to operate the wiper when moving, but since it is only necessary to operate occasionally it is not too annoying to do until I wire in a footswitch and park function. | |||
I was | I was surprised at how much space is required to wire in the switches and relays for the power circuit. The first ABS box I tried to use wasn't big enough to get everything in. I found that the easiest way to wire all different wires into positive and earth was to use two brass earth blocks and connect the different wires. | ||
