Default USB power clip

I am working on a few cool projects that I will share in a week or so. But this is a small bite.

when I take long trips I use my go pro and like to have it always plugged in - so I wanted a usb port that can quickly be installed for trips. The other end will come later, but this is the final prototype print. Clips onto the clutch cable.

I will make a cap for it as well

Yeah, not near as fun and I hate big bulky things on the handlebars.

so, that isn’t something I would buy or install

Of course the final print will be black. But this is the idea, clean, and almost disappears. This is just a simple part of a larger system I am putting together, but since I was waiting on bits and bobs, I thought I would sit down and design this clip.

These are actually great devices. You can buy them with a handlebar clamp or with a screw mount or no mount at all and every type of power port (usb-c, usb-a, micro usb etc). I use one on my road king that is not mounted that I just connect to my battery tender. The ability to see your battery voltage at all times is a nice added feature. I used it for the first time heading to bikeweek in spring and it worked flawlessly on my iphone 16.

I hid it in my rider backrest organizer and ran a cord to my iPhone on the handlebars. My riding buddy was teasing me as well, but it did the job and once the 835 mile ride was over, I tucked it away till the return ride. A road king doesn't have any power ports up front and it was a cheap and effective solution.

I combined some off the shelf parts and fabricated a power port /Ram mount on my old Road King. It was pretty awesome
