I am looking for a place to put a power outlet for charging etc.
Where have you attached one if you have it

 

what kind of "power" charging an usb device , or a lighter plug? I have mounted a lighter plug in my saddlebag , but if you wanting more accesable, there are usb outlets that can be mounted to the handlebars o a clamp on lighter plug pod that clamps on the handle bars but its a lot more bulky.

 

I have mind on the handle bar just to the left of the clamp.

 

 

I am using this to trickle Charge and run my GPS and phone charger from




Trickle Charger in back runs to EKLIPES which powers the GPS and charges my phone as well (Not liking the clutch cable placement)

 

Look on the back of your headlight for a pair of wires coming off of it. Orange/white stripe and black. You can go to a auto parts place and buy a 12v receptacle (looks like a cig lighter) and use a usb adaper to charge your device. When using these wires from your headlight, if the headlight is on, you have power, headlight off, no power! I bought a 12v socket from an auto parts place for $8 or Powerlet sells one for $100. I wire tied my socket to the right of the trees. Right there in front of me......

 

Be careful if the bike has CANBUS. It does not like unusual loads where it expects a certain level. I wire straight to the battery to avoid those codes.

 

I bought a lighter plug from batteries plus for my wife's King. It plugs into the battery tender plug when you are not charging the bike. It comes with a 6' cord. You can put it anywhere on the bike. Hers is zip tied to the clutch cable down by the base of the triple tree.

 

I have a Deltran battery tender with the cables permanently mounted to the battery. I recently bought this adapter which plugs directly into the cable ends. It allows me to charge my phone, I-pod etc.

Don't dick around. Call a Harley dealer,tell 'em you want the power cord receptacle that mounts on the top of the side cover. Comes with a template for layout. Just don't use the template blindly,check that it clears everything behind the cover. Neat,clean,plugs right into an open 4 pin connector on the front side of your battery,and can be turned on and off with the left side toggle switch. You can also get a "Y" splitter for the connector if you want another accessory. Search "12 Volt Power Outlet" on the forum,step by step install with pics.,plus the Harley part number.
