Honda Reflex 12v Outlet Installation in Glove Box
Time and Ease: Medium difficulty 12 hours Tools/Supplies: Wire cutters/strippers, small rotary tool (Dremel), screwdriver, 10 or 15 amp inline fuse, 12v marine outlet with extra wire (Walmart), end connectors that will fit around your battery terminals
Step 1 Open your glove box and locate the dimple or hole in the middle, where the outlet is already on the Forza version. (see photo section) Step 2 If there is a hole already, try fitting the outlet in it. Doesn’t fit or no hole? Try grinding out some of the plastic with a Dremel or rotary tool. BE CAREFUL! You don’t want to grind out too much.
Step 3 Once the outlet fits tightly, depending on the outlet, unscrew the plastic nut from the outlet and feed the wires through the hole until the outlet is snuggly in there. You’re now going to have to access the back side of the glove box by reaching through the front of your bike just below your headlights. Feed the wires through the nut you removed and tighten it good on the back of the outlet.
Step 4 Now, you’re going to have to remove one of the floor panels. Your choice, but I chose the one for your left foot. Remove the rubber foot mat carefully so as not to break any of the rubber tabs. You will remove 3 hex head bolts, 3 screws and 2 plastic fasteners under the rubber mat; 1 screw behind the foot peg; 1 by the kickstand; 2 allen wrench screws at the back of the panel; screws that hold this panel to the front panels. Make sure you have all fasteners removed before attempting to take off the panel.
Step 5 Start feeding the wires, from the outlet, through the front panels to the foot panel you just removed. Then feed the wires through the hollow black pipe that’s attached to the frame, and finally feed them up to the battery compartment (your seat should be open and the battery compartment panel off).
Step 6 Make sure that there is very little slack and that the wires are taped up or secured to the body, especially around the engine and battery.
Step 7 Now attach the inline fuse to the positive wire. Tape up the wires after the connection or use a wire nut.
Step 8 Attach the end connectors to the wires and then attach to the battery terminals. You may need to loosen the main connectors on the battery to get these new ones on.
Step 9 Tighten the connectors and test the outlet. If it works, secure any loose wires and make sure any exposed wires are taped up. If it doesn’t work, check all connections and see if you have any power on the scooter.
Step 10 Put our scooter back together and enjoy. Take your time with the foot panel…. it can be temperamental.
