Switched CB Radio

[rosco54]

I am trying to install a J&M CB on my 2010 Rocket III Touring. I would like to have the radio switched as I know I will turn off the bike go in the house and if the radio is not switched off I'll drain my battery. I will forget to turn off the radio (I'm getting older and I forget stuff). So I would like it to turn off when the ignition is turned off. Does anyone know how to do this? I though I would try to tie into one of the Accessory plug, but not sure how to do that.

You might look into one of the fuse box kits from Eastern Beaver. That way you can install multiple accessories, both switched and unswitched. I'm not sure that the Accessory plug is switched, so it may not suit your needs.

+1 on the Eastern Beaver PC-8 fuse box. Easy install and ready for more goodies.

I ran the meter on the auxiliary plug. It's not switched, always on. I will try the Eastern Beaver PC-8 fuse box. Thanks.

I posted a picture of the EB PC8 I installed last winter if you search you will see on this forum

I'm running the J & M amplified speaker system at I put a hidden switch in-line so people could not just turn my system on, but it allows me to listen to the system with out starting the bike.

Just connect your hot wire (+) to your running lights. The CB will not pull enough current to effect your running light circuit.
