[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1128892, member: 3828"] No. Don't do that. The wire gauge in the harness to the glove box is not big enough to support the higher amperage a pump will draw. And in my experience you'll be running that little sucker for a good long while, 'specially if it's the back tire. Yes!! Instead, do this. A battery tender pigtail is wicked cheap (right around $5) and, if you run it out from the battery and leave the end up near the front of the bike somewhere it has all sorts of great potential uses. Use it to charge the battery in the off months, run the pump when you need, and you can even wire a tank bag to run off of the same cable. The wire gauge is plenty big enough to support the higher loads of your tire pump. [/QUOTE]
