Show Your Power Outlet Mods

I'd like to add a 12v accessory plug (cigarette lighter) to my '13 GSA, and am trying to find a dedicated bracket that hides away under the windshield area. Have you made one? I'd love to see a pic. Anybody got links to existing products?

Powerlet has everything you need http://www.powerlet.com/ . I installed an outlet just under the seat on the right side of the bike (if you are sitting on the bike it is right under the frame rail just below the seat mounted to the black plastic cover for the under seat electronics). I can plug an electric vest or run s cord to my top case from this location.
Powerlet has kits, brackets and individual components.

Thanks. I also found this Touratech that's at least good for comparison.

Wired through a fuse straight to the battery.

PO put a couple of power let outlets on the plastics between the wind wings wired straight to the battery through a fuse. Nice placement actually.

I'd attach a picture but tapatalk pisses me off.

Come to think of it, so does this iPhone. Smugmug is finding its way to te list too.



How hard is that? Not hard with a computer. Impossible with an iPhone.

And

Direct to my powerhub II. Waterproof socket from eBay. Bracket made with wire.

I put 2 of them on the beak... Very handy.

Since 80% you need the Power Outlet for is the Phone and GPS, I have added a double USB outlet waterproofed and small enough on my GSA.
This way you can use standard USB cable and don't need a Adapter for 12V - 5V.


Smoking is for the Bike, not for the Biker. LOL



Sorry no pic.

Thanks everyone. I've searched threads and multiple product pages. The most important trick is to identify my charging needs. Mostly, I need to charge my Sena Bluetooth headset and my Android phone - both use a 2.1A USB. Rather than bother with accessory plugs, 3BR makes a nice little dedicated USB unit. (The other plugs may still come in handy for odd future needs.

water proof, 3 amps usb charge, and under $10

will this fit on GSA 2014?

I know it is not so clean, but that's what I did:



I just get this straight from after the Fuse block, without a dedicated on/off switch.
Read around and people says that the consumption of this USB outlet is very minimum, so I let it ON whenever I have the ignition ON.

I'm specifically trying to avoid making permanent incisions into my bike's parts. For the same reason, I had considered putting a plug into my aluminum side cases, for secure charging. But the thought of drilling even a small hole hurts me...

No

Mine is inside my tank bag for phone, camera batteries, etc.


.

anything new on this?
I need to run SAE for the Charger and the compressor I figure I'll plug in USB to that. I don't see any USB outlets offered that have a clean method to mount to something other than dangling from a zip. I found one that has a clamp but it runs a blue LED when powered, and since I want this always hot that won't work.

Nope,only up to end of the camhead line.

I got the same thing. Routed it into my tank bag for added weather protection. A quick 2 wire waterproof disconnect for when I want to remove the tank bag.
