Nothing like a cig. lighter, right down to the compressor for tire repair or top off. Let alone the air mattress.

USB Hub

Does anyone know of a mod or URL link that I can make two USB hubs for my bike off the battery? It looks relatively simple to make your own setup. Did some searching no luck. Thank you.

I use a TAPP Lite by 3BR Powersports:

It wires direct to the battery and will charge anything with a USB. I think it was like $35.00 for the complete kit. It only has one USB port, but you could always get two at that price! BTW - the kit had everything for the install even the alcohol swab to clean the bars where I stuck the mount and cable ties to hold the harness in place. They are the same people who make the one shown in Post #4 which has their website too.

Hope this is helpful

I'm cheap, I use the same 2 prong flat connector for my wired jacket, air compressor, battery tender and a $2 accessory outlet (Walmart) that accepts any phone or iPod charger. Only downside is the accessory outlets are so cheap that eventually some corrosion builds up and you need to take it off with fine sandpaper.

A company called ZootFresh (www.ZootFresh.com) has a single USB solution.

I have a Fatboy, so I just picked up a $7 auxillary cigarette plug from Autozone, drilled a hole in the back of my nacelle, and used the wire that was hanging around in there (normally used for auxillary lighting) to power it. Simple, cheap and effective. I slide in one of those nubby USB adapters you can find at Best Buy or Radio Shack. I usually use it to power my GPS but have been known to plug in the Ipod when it gets low!

Only bad thing is... the way I've powered it, if I turn on my brights, I lose power LOL!!
