Default Another Garmin installed

I used a two pole flat connector in-line so I could take the cradle off easily and used 1/8" split loom to make it nice

I tied the power into the unused spade plugs attached to the headlamp wire harness

I tied up the excess wire in a loop and ziptied it above the back of the cig lighter and attached to a bracket

Viola! Complete with 105th splash screen.

Looks great. Just make sure the bare post on the connector that's left on the bike is the Negative terminal.
