Hey all,

I've got a 17 Road King with heated grips (from HD) and I was wondering if there is a power source in the neck/headlight area that is easy to get to? Wanting to charge a phone or GPS. Shouldn't need both at once.

TIA

On my RK, I ran one of these off the battery charging cable, then ran a USB cable up under the tank to the bars. It was an easy installation, mounted the unit with velco against frame above the starter. That way I would just disconnect the unit and plug my battery tender in while the bike is in the garage.

 

Was it very difficult to get under the tank?

 

No, I just unscrewed the rear console screw, and slid the wire under the rubber molding on the left side of the tank.

 

So didn't really have to mess with the tank?

 

No not at all, took maybe 5 minutes to route the cable all the way up to the left hand grip area.

 

Removing a gas tank is a simple procedure. The fuel line is a quick disconnect. Pull the collar back and slip apart. When disconnected it has a check valve, so no leaks. It only dribbles a couple drops while removing. Easy, peasy

 

Probably the best looking option!

 

I've never messed with tanks on either of the Harleys I've owned. Heard it was easy, but didn't realize it was quite that easy.
