Tip: Before you strip the wire there is a strip marker on the side of the wago connector. Line the wire up with that and stip to that length. Just so you don't have bare wire sticking out the end.

[@AndyManCam]

Great tip, i didn’t know that! 👍🏻

[@johna6968]

The original positive terminal and its connections was indeed a sight to behold. Great upload

[@AndyManCam]

And that was with the heated vest and the sat nav already removed!! 😂😂 Cheers Jay!

[@chasp_0784]

This is great, just ordered one for myself. They REALLY need to send a few of these to adv you tubers, we love our accessories.

[@AndyManCam]

That would be a great idea! It’s a crackinf piece of kit.

It took me 2 years to finally watch a video about a motorcycle combiner box for this add-ons. As until today I was using switch connectors, which with time became a mess. Thank you

I like that... a good idea. particularly interested in the quickshifter. Their strain gauge is ideal because its so versatile. The Thunderbox is something I'd consider too.

[@simonleeds6815]

I had been interested in one of these and bought one from their site seeing you always come across as a trustworthy and genuine chap and dropped you channel in the comments. Hopefully they’ll send you some more free stuff in return for the sales they get. Love the channel!

Very helpful video - I've got a Thunderbox in hand and your video made it very straightforward to think about how to install and utilize it. I'm adding heated grips and aux lights - this should make all of that much simpler.

Cheers Andy. Very happy to have helped mate! Enjoy!

[@davidogilvie9092]

Just finally seen your video about heated grips and lights that usually have earth wires.. i noticed that in your vid that they wasnt needed. Did you remove the earth wire ??

[@AndyManCam]

You mean the black wire? The ground? It’s possible i might have connected them to a point on the frame. One way or another, you need the ground to make the accessory work. But often you can ground on to the frame and that itself is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

[@senorcosta]

Excellent Thunderbolt installation video. Cheers from the US.

[@peetee49]

I’ve connected my spot lights direct to the TB but would like to install a separate switch to enable me to turn on and off, any ideas about the wiring?

[@AndyManCam]

You could connect the ignition wire (white one) and have a switch on that circuit. But that would then switch off everything connected to the TB. Otherwise a switch between the Spotlights and the connection to the TB would do the trick. Of course depending on the draw of your spotlights, you might want to think about putting a relay in there.

[@Cyverion]

Omg this is amazing! I have a set of heated grips and some other various electrical stuff to hook up and was debating on how to hook up my own fuse block and fishing it into the ignition for power.

[@AndyManCam]

It's brilliant! I've just transplanted it to the CB1000R and it made the heated grips and USB socket install an absolute doddle. Will be using it also for the SW-Motech LED spots coming soon. So easy to get the ignition feed and I haven't had to damage a single wire on my bike!

[@londonjohn67]

What an amazing piece of kit, thanks for the review!

[@AndyManCam]

Certainly seems to do exactly what must of us have been wanting since forever! Cheers for watching!

[@highlandriders9696]

Healtec seem to be the company for great innovations just now. This would definitely make the install of various additions easier... Plus saves taking the battery out of its very tight storage spot on the Z800 everytime I get a new toy. Cheers Andy.

[@AndyManCam]

Absolutely! They seem to make well made, well thought out stuff. I'm a big fan.

[@jamesshort1215]

Just ordered mines Andy. Cheers for the info 👍

[@MyRandomLife247]

Been waiting for this video for a while now. Great install vid! Only improvement I’d suggest is going back and putting bootlace (ferrule) connectors on all those wires! Ferrule crimpers especially with a ratchet mechanism like mine are the easiest things to use!

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers! Not a bad idea. Safe is safe!

[@Prijsm]

I have watched a lot of your videos. They are really helpful. I also learn a lot of new gadgets which is even more interesting. bought this thunderbox for my zx-12r. really love it!.

[@douglasalexander4348]

@@hollybaker902 Agree. Although my Yam Tracer did have pre installed fused quick connects hidden under dash to fit lights and heated grips, Yamaha brand only of course, but got connectors off eBay for a couple quid to fit aftermarket. When are they going to put usb connectors on handlebars for phones ? Mines got a cigarette lighter socket. Hello 1980. Stuck an adaptor in, but really ? Good riding 😎

[@yigal1697]

motorcycle manufactures are notoriously cheap... I don't know why, maybe the market of the motorcycles is composed of bad consumers or something. But so much stuff that is granted in cars simply never arrives.? Even now, how many motorcycles still don't have usb charging port? self-canceling indicators? combined and boosted brakes?

Hey Andy, Honestly Thank You for posting this video👍. I haven’t heard of this option before. What a fantastic device to control multiple devices. Hopefully after this virus has finally passed I was intending in getting a couple of adventure bikes. I was wondering how I’d go about wiring heated grips, chargers, accessories without having to piggyback connections or splice into wiring for a power supply and try and keep it all to a minimum and tidy. This is a god sent for motorcycle wiring 👍. Awesome! So easy to install as well and factory set...amazing 😀. I’ll definitely be looking into the availability of this device when the time comes. As always thanks for posting 👍🎥. Cheers.

You could splice your heated grips to the ignition , personally i have Wired them to the rear licence plate light. Switches on & off with the bike

[@AndyManCam]

My laziness was the reason i got the Oxford grips. They were originally wired directly to the battery but automatically switched off with the bike.

[@mattmutane5502]

@@AndyManCam My laziness is why the loom is installed (direct to the battery) but the grips are not (will do that VERY soon). I've got the "official" Yamaha grips which auto-detect the bike switching off and turn themselves off, but I like this better, "enforced shutdown"! ;) :) I don't think it's advisable to splice a heating element into an ignition circuit, which wasn't designed to take that kind of current...(which is why they are designed to connect direct to the battery) :)

[@OldManTony]

Great idea for an accessory. I wondered if it would work with the Oxford heated grips that have a similar switch off circuit, you answered my question.

Interesting, I have a Innov powerhub (V1) on my FZ1 it needs a switched live which I connected to the number plate light using a posi-lock. It has a 5-10 second delay so even if the ignition's on you can use full battery power to crank the bike. I'm surprised it took this long for a company to bring out one of these without the need of a switched live considering heated grips and other accessories which can detect a bike not running existing for a while now. BTW if you use an SAE tender cable you can use Optimate's USB adapter which auto shuts off if the battery hits 12.5V without any ignition being on (SAE cable is connected direct to the battery)

[@AndyManCam]

I agree. The need for this and the capability has been staring is in the face for years! At least it’s here finally!

Hi Andy the Electricians at work use these Waco fittings instead of the old block connectors , however these can be very weak. Keep your eye on the connections mate .

Yeah I’ve used them a lot too (lighting techie). But i think in this case, the wires are under no tension so should be ok. At least if something should stop working, problem solving is easy and accessible!

Thanks for all the how to videos, help me so much and you explain it perfectly. I been buying healtech because of you lol. But i have a question for ya, do you experience hot seat after riding for 45 mins? If so do you have any suggestions on how to fix it or help dissipate the heat. Thanks.

Hey! Glad to help! I do get a hot seat, but it's because of my engine, not the Thunderbox! You could try some heat shielding. My bike has it all over the underside of the fuel tank and over the battery.

The Thunderbox should have overcurrent protection, but it can’t hurt to leave the original fuse on. The Thunderbox can’t know what draw your device should have, so it’ll only cut the power when IT deems that something is wrong. Would probably be ok, but belt and braces for the win!

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Just seen this, looks just what I’m looking for. I’ve no electrical knowledge at all so how many things can I plug into the 16amp? I’m planning on getting the usb cable as just need to plug in a sat back and phone. Should I get the 16 or 32 amp? Thanks

[@AndyManCam]

I think you can plug 3 things into the 16A and 6 things into the 32A. You could of course double up your connections, but for the love of dog, don’t go over the current draw limits!!

Thanks for the video. I wasn't aware of this gadget til someone on the Vstrom board, StromTroopers, posted a link to your vid. Question; do you think that it could run a small compressor? I have one made by a company called "Motopressor" but I don't know its current draw. I currently (pun intended) have it wired directly to the battery via a fuse.

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure Mart! It’s a great little accessory. I’m afraid without knowing the power needs of the compressor, i couldn’t possibly say for sure. Though considering i run my heated gloves and vest through it, there can’t be that much that it can’t handle!

Hi Andy, can the TB-USB1 be connected directly to the battery without draining it or does it have to go through the thunderbox? Thanks

[@AndyManCam]

It can be connected directly to the battery, but by it's nature it will constantly sap a tiny amount of power from the battery. Better to go through the thunderbox to be safe.

Ever have an issue/conflict with the Oxford Heated Grips intelligent controller? Normally it would monitor the power and switch off the grips if you forget. But if connected to the TB it loses power altogether. Thought I saw where someone said they had an issue turning them back on or at least there was a long delay before he could get power to the controller. Other than that, brilliant product and video!

[@AndyManCam]

I didn’t, but i did have a problem whereby my Daytona heated grips would switch off whenever i stopped at the lights and the bike was ticking over. Healtech told me that it was because mine was the first batch and it was fixed with firmware on all after that. When i eventually did switch to oxford grips, i connected straight to the battery, as the intelligent controller always worked well for me before so i didn’t see the need to double up on the protection. Then the grips proceeded to kill the battery the first time i parked the bike 🤦🏻‍♂️ After that they never worked properly again and now i have factory fitted KTM grips on the 1090 that i replaced the Honda with.

Hi, I also installed this box on my motorcycle, but I have a problem... My heated grips stay on when I turn off the engine, the box doesn't turn off even after several minutes... any idea? Thierry motard français

[@AndyManCam]

I’m afraid i have no idea. Maybe contact the experts at Healtech, I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out. 👍🏻
