I need more ac plugs on my dash

[ktm33b]

Anyone got a good source. The 990 single small cigarette type doesn't make a lot of sense. Id like to have 2 maybe even three. I'm no electrician but I'm gonna give it a shot. Of course I know I need waterproof plugs. Do I just direct wire into the battery with separate leads for each plug. Converter?

If you get one of these BMW accessory plugs, you can wire 2 or possibly 3 devices to the plug.

Thanks. That's what I'm after. Do you use them?

Better get 12V DC plugs. Not sure what you would do with AC on the bike.

I love it when people pay attention to the little things.

Ktm,

Yes I do. Currently I have 1 Set of Wires for the GPS and the other Set of Wires for the R-Detector.

Works fine with 2... may be able to squeeze 3...

Ac/dc

DC --- If you want AC you need to get a DC-AC Inverter.

I plan on installing this slick little unit to power up the accessories.

Junac:

Interesting. I am reading all I can find on fuseblocks and relays. Have you considered:

Thread here about it. Except for the price, it's perfect for what I want, i.e. solid state, no fuses:

Black Boxes scare me. I don't like electronics. The one from BDCW is simple. One 12v relay and some simple circuitry. The price is reasonable as well.

I just received an Eastern Beaver PC-8. Ordered a 50A fused, longer harness than the one used in the attached thread to enable mounting it in the under seat tool box along with my Autocom. This has a built in relay but besides that good old-fashioned fuses, so no black box hocus pocus; I think it's a nice option. I'll probably add to the thread with my install when I have a chance to get to it.

Junac:

Yes, that is one of the 3 contenders for me as well.

Likes: All the wires from your powerded devices are screwed into metal posts on the FZ-1. Nice.

Dislikes: Can only handle 30 amps and still has fuses. Meaning, I need to mount it somewhere on my 950 Adventure where I can get my hands on it. Not too many spots for this and I don't want to mount it in the glove box so maybe under the seat.

Thanks for the input. Still deciding.
