I have a friend that has an Ultra Classic Trike. He is looking to add an accesory power source that may have 2-3 outlets for IPOD, GPS.... I found a single outlet that mounts to the bars, but is there anything out there with 2-3 outlets?
If you want a pigtail type attachment go to Radio Shack, they have at least 2 and 3 outlet pigtails for a cigarette lighter type 12-volt power plug. I got a 2 plug version for use in the wife's car for cell phone and radar detector.
Your friend may be less than happy with the results. Cigarette lighter plugs are large, and running 2 or 3 of them over to one box is not what you would describe as "elegant". If he wants to take his eyepod, gps, etc with him away from the bike, he might be happer in the long run to buy an extra power cable for each device that he can leave on the bike, then hardwire it to a power source inside the fairing (or wherever)
HD has the two ended Y connector...I ran the HD cigarette lighter wiring and added a few feet of wire and installled the lighter in the Tour Pak...you could try it that way.
Other option is to just pop off the fairing and add some outlets. I moved the one on my dads Ultra up to the top by the gauges so he didn't have to reach down to get it to light the cigars.
Now i would say i would do that or i would go with BG idea and wire them in. But you could just put in two more outlets in the fairing there is plenty of room if you wanted to go that route.
