Have a 2012 RK. Need to charge my phone whilst away. What options are there i dont use the ph while on the move. Have a connector for the trickle charger. I cant get too a harley dealer who i assume have something. Its a samsung. Cheers
You have a lot of options , I ran a fused cable from the battery to my windshield bag , where I charge my phone while on the move . That way , I can still plug in my heated jacket when I need it and still have the ability to charge my phone at the same time .
A 6ft fused cable along with the above usb adapter is what I use , just ran the cable under the tank console and up into the bag .
Not sure where you want the charger or if you want to charge your phone while you're on the move. I have a '13 King and I use the ACC plug under the seat. That toggle switch on the left nacelle controls the power for that plug.
You could use one of thesepower ports and then plug a
into it. This could be in your saddlebag and is all plug-n-play.
I use one of these and run it to under the nacelle. I have my GPS or phone on my bars and just plug a USB to the power port. You can attach to the battery directly but I've modified the end so it plugs into that ACC plug under the seat.
You have some options, as others will mention here.
Look about 6'' back from your headlight plug for an orange wire with a white stripe on it and a black wire next to it, they should both have blade type connectors on them. These are a switched power source( headlight on=power, headlight off= no juice.). Orange is positive and black is negative, just wire up a 12v socket and you are good to go.
Well thank you for your Stirling advice and glad to see that the sight is closing down, because nothing is new! Your link was a bun fight and some concise specific advice is all i wanted and got. Like my mother always says if you haven't anything positive to say you are better shutting the ---- up. Please feel free to copy and paste this statement to the beat to death crew who have a large chip on there shoulders for some reason every month!
I bought a cigarette lighter attachment that fits onto the trickle charger connector & then routed it so it fits in the right side bag. I think it's Opti Mate brand. I did this originally to power my little portable compressor in case I get a flat.
I also have one of those cigarette lighter things that has a usb port on it so I can charge my phone too.
