Tourpac Power Acc Port
I just picked up a power port for my tourpac like the ones on the Limited's. I haven't looked at the wiring diagram for my 08 yet, but was wondering if my bike has the connection for it already. Anybody know off hand? I know I read on here where some have added that option to their bikes.

You mean the one that's wired to the aux switch on the fairing? That doesn't have the same type of connector as the power port does...at least on my bike. Plus, I really don't want the port to be switched. I would like it to be hot all the time.

no it's in the tourpak. I ran the wire under the plate out the hole where the break/antena and other wires run followed them to the aux plug that is under the seat.

The aux connector under the seat on my bike is wired to the accessory switch on the fairing. Is this the connection you were talking about?

There are two types of commectors under the seat. One is always hot. Look in the P&A catalog. The splitters for the two connectors are listed in the same photo. Use the simpler type connector and get a splitter while you're at it. You'll have a port for two more items when you need them.

I just cut the factory connector off the aux ports wiring loom and added a couple of eye connections to wire it direct to the battery. I have since added an inline switch so I can turn the port off when not in use. I just feel better about it that way but also like the fact that I can have the port hot without having to have the ignition switch on at the same time.
The installation is pretty straight forward. The hardest part (read, time consuming) was cutting the tour pac liner so it fit over the aux port.
FWIW!

Yes, it's the port that's wired to the accessory switch on the fairing and the aux port comes with the appropriate connector to make the connection. I didn't mind using that except I already had it dedicated to something else and that something else isn't something I want active at the same time the aux port is on so it wasn't an option for me either way.

The accessory connector under the seat has four wires, none of which provides a constant "hot" circuit. The four wires are a ground, a run light (power when ignition is "on"); a brake light circuit; and a switched circuit controlled by the ACC switch.
There is the B+ connector under the seat that is a direct connection to the + terminal on the battery.
As for directly wiring the power port to the battery, easy enough to do, but be sure to include an in-line fuse.
