Quick Winter Project
#31
Shaving down the USB adapter didn't work. It's fairly thin plastic and the grind opened up a couple of holes exposing the PCB (printed circuit board). I've ordered another one. I've found a couple of grommets, but haven't decided which one yet, the one I have is most likely not going to work. This project would be done if not for the grommet.
Also, I would never leave a device attached over night, so not worried about battery.

I ran a SAE cable from the battery to my bars. I also ran the power cable for my Garmin GPS from a ignition on power source to my bars. Both are fused cables. I can plug the Battery Tender in at the bar while parked and switch to the USB adapter to charge my phone while riding. I ran the cables down the backbone while my tank was getting painted. Nice and easy to get to.
If you zoom in, you can see the GPS mount and the end of the SAE cable:

Yeah no, I'd never stick something on my paint unless I didn't care about it. And as far as needing to have my phone available at a moments notice for answering calls, watching a movie maybe or even GPS while I'm riding, never gonna happen. But hey, it's a new day. For me a cell phone is a convenience device for emergencies when I ride not some kind of electronic umbilical that I can't be without. To each their own.
