What to use to splice into a live?

[bonio]

I've heated grips on the DRZ, but no relay, and I thought now would be a good time to fix it. I've bought the relay, I reckon I understand how to wire it in. But... what's the best way of splicing into a switched live? Is there a waterproof splicer thingy I can get on ebay? Or do I just cut the cable, solder the three wires together and make good with heat shrink? Ta

I'd do it the way you described and solder. There probably is a little magic box of some description but the way you described is the tried and tested way

As you said should be fine, just try pick a splice point where cable is reasonably protected

@raesewell will recommend positaps as he has used them before with success 

 

Whatever you do do not use scotch locks! 

 

But ultimately it depends what you're tapping in to too

 

I uses part of the wiring for the electric screen on my bike its a plug in loop so I just cut the loop bared the wires and soldered them all together and heat shrink the lot

Ta all. Going to have a poke around and see what's available in the way of switched lives.

Not today tho. Freakin cold in the garage.
