Add Electrical Accessories with Ease Using the PathFinderLED Power Distribution Accessory Hub

Ever since electronic gizmos and gadgets entered the motorcycle world, Goldwing riders have been finding ways to mount them to their bikes. Powering all these accessories can start to look like electrical wizardry. On older bikes, you could just splice into the wiring harness. But newer Can bus systems pose new dangers. Splicing into the wrong wire can cause faults to the onboard computer, leaving you with a non-starting Wing.

So what can you do as an accessory-loving Goldwing rider? Fortunately, there are now a few accessory hubs that you can choose from. Today, we’re going to take a look at the PathFinderLED Power Distribution Accessory Hub (PAH60). This compact, weatherproof hub is the ultimate solution for adding aftermarket accessories to your bike while safeguarding its sophisticated CAN bus electrical system.

The Power Accessory Hub provides a secure and efficient way to integrate additional accessories without compromising your bike’s electrical integrity. It allows you to connect all your aftermarket accessories and lighting units to one single hub, reducing the amount of rogue wiring throughout the bike. The hub simply connects to your motorcycle’s battery and does not require any software to install or configure. Its waterproof construction ensures that all your accessories will continue to receive power, even in downpours.

Power Distribution Accessory Hub Key Features

There is a lot to like with the PAH60, but listed below are some of the features that help it stand out:

• Compact and Weatherproof Design: The hub is small enough to fit virtually anywhere on your bike and built to withstand all weather conditions.
• Plug-and-Play Harnesses: The kit includes short, easy-to-install harnesses that connect directly to the saddlebag connectors on your bike.
• Comprehensive Wiring Options: The hub comes with wires for the battery, ground, switched circuits, and various lights (brake, running, and turn signals), all following Pathfinder LED’s color scheme for easy integration.
• High Capacity: It supports up to 60 amps total capacity with advanced power integration, featuring both hot and switched circuits.

Installation Process

Installing the Power Accessory Hub is straightforward, even for those who aren’t seasoned mechanics. PathFinder includes detailed instructions, but here’s a brief rundown of the process:

1. Prepare Your Bike: Start by putting your Goldwing on the center stand. Next, you will need to remove the saddlebag side covers and the seat. With the left side saddlebag cover off, remove the negative cable of the battery.
2. Connect the Harnesses: Locate the saddlebag connectors under the seat. Connect the right-side harness (with a yellow wire) and the left-side harness (with a blue wire) to the respective connectors on your bike.
3. Mount the Hub: Position the hub under the seat with the accessory wires facing the rear. Route the wires to the battery and fuse box.
4. Wire the Accessories: Use Wago lever nuts to connect your accessories to the hub. These lever nuts are reliable and allow for multiple accessories to be connected to a single circuit.
5. Test the Setup: Before putting the seat back on, turn on the bike to check if the status light on the hub is green, indicating everything is working correctly. Test all your connected accessories, like turn signals and brake lights, to ensure proper functionality.

PathfinderLED’s Power Accessory Hub is a game-changer for Honda Goldwing owners looking to enhance their bikes with additional accessories. Its thoughtful design and robust features make it the best solution for protecting your CAN bus system while enjoying the benefits of modern technology.
