Default Tools to help you with your bike when adding electronics.

I was reading some threads about adding lights to your bike and everyone was guessing about the wattage, is it okay? Here are some links to figure out if it is okay or not. These can be used for anything electrical. The big issue is how much power does it draw? How big is the wire you are using? (Can it support the current draw?) and is your fuse the right size? Use the links listed below and you will have your answer everytime.
