Default Power Help (Show Power)

Im thinking about putting my bike in a show. Rules are empty tank and disconnected battery. They offer a 110 outlet.

My question is how do I run the power to the bike for lights, radio, etc.? Do I hook the 110 to a battery tender and run it like that or what?

Thanks for the info,

Moe

You can buy 12 V power supplies. The battery tender does not put out enough to power the radio, lights etc. A larger charger may work, but I don't know how hard they would be on the electronics as a stand-alone power supply without the battery hooked up.

You buy a power converter. You should only need a small one since you would just be running the lights.
