12 Volt Accessory Upgrades Royal Enfield HIMALAYAN
HIMA-HARNESS
For some reason, Royal Enfield failed to offer any extra fused and switched accessory circuits or a standard battery tender connector on the HIMILAYAN. So we have designed and manufactured a nice harness with some cool features that anyone should be able to install in about 30 minutes with common hand tools. The harness is made of high-quality OEM grade materials for years of trouble-free service. It is also protected by a 15 amp fuse.
MOTO STUFF 12 volt accessory Harness for 2017-2023 (inlcidng Tripper equipped models) HIMALAYAN features:
- 2 switched 12-volt leads that are long enough to reach the handlebars or instrument cluster area.
- SAE connector for quick connection of Battery Tender
- HITACHI waterproof micro Relay

PLEASE NOTE!
We recently discovered that some owners of ABS models were having a hard time locating the tail light connector we were using for the switched 12-volt circuit to energize our harness when the ignition is switched on. So we did some further investigation and found an easy connection point on the bikes diagnostic service connector on all Himalayans that can be used for this.
The printed instructions show this new connection point in step 5. The video below still shows the old connection point. (This is shown beginning at around 6:40 for reference)
This is the diagnostic connector (photo below) with the yellow 12-volt switch circuit on our harness connected.
Installation overview:
Remove the seat to gain access to the battery, connect the red lead of the MOTO STUFF harness to the positive battery terminal and the black lead to the negative battery terminal. Use the included Posi-Tap connector to attach the MOTO STUFF relay switch wire to the Himilayan harness near the battery. Route the MOTO STUFF harness under the fuel tank, up through the triple clamps and to the handlebars or to the dash area if you are using one of our 12-volt accessory USB or 12-volt sockets (cigarette lighter style). Available below.
12-Volt Socket Version: (cigarette lighter style) This is a high-quality 12-volt socket we developed to offer an OEM appearance, with a water-resistant hinged spring-loaded cover. Easily installed in just a couple of minutes, all you need is an 8mm wrench or socket to remove the rearmost windscreen adjusting bolt (left or right side) so you can insert the bracket of your MOTO STUFF USB/12 volt socket accessory in place. Reinstall the bolt and tighten to secure the bracket in place and plug the end of the MOTO STUFF HIMALAYAN harness into the USB/12 volt socket connector and you are ready to go! Step by step detailed instructions are included.
Dual USB Version: This is a high-quality dual USB charger with an OE appearance featuring a water-resistant spring-loaded hinged cover. The dual USB charger outputs 2.1 amps for fast phone charging and features a blue led indicator to let you know it's on.
Easily installed in just a couple of minutes, all you need is an 8mm wrench or socket to remove the rearmost windscreen adjusting bolt (left or right side) so you can insert the bracket of your MOTO STUFF USB/12 volt socket accessory in place. Reinstall the bolt and tighten to secure the bracket in place. And plug the end of the MOTO STUFF HIMALAYAN harness into the USB/12 volt socket connector and you are ready to go!

All Kits include 18" 2 circuit lead (18 gauge red 12V+ and Black ground) with abrasion sheath and 2 black zip ties for secure installation.
USB Adapter- For your convenience, We've sourced a rugged Dual USB charger with aluminum housing for use with the 12 Volt socket kit- Available below. It does not fit flush, so it keeps the cover open about 3/4 of the way open, which provides easy access to the lower port as well as providing some protection against light rain/water exposure.
This is a 15 AMP switched circuit, which means it is turned off and on by the bikes ignition switch.
Here's a shortlist of the average current draw for popular accessories:
- Heated Grips 3-5 AMPS
- USB Phone Charger 1-2 AMPS
- Heated Gloves 3 AMPS
- Heated Jacket 8 AMPS
- Heated Pants 6 AMPS
WARNING: Most High output horns will draw too much amperage for this circuit. If you are planning to use a 12-volt compact air compressor, be sure to check it to make sure it does not draw more than 10 amps! Usually better to get a compressor that connects to your battery tender SAE connector and ensure it's got the proper capacity.
