Order this part from HDL or any Honda shop.    It original was made for an older Gold Wing.




You will have to move 1 wire in the plug to match yours.  It also has a bigger boot.

My bike got one 2 or 3 years ago now, and it still works fine.



From what i'm reading between the lines here, is you have a heavy draw on some added lights.   Right?      Move the connection off of the headlight/starter circuit.

I hope you showed him the part # to order.

If not, it will be very expensive when he puts on a complete wiring loom....
