I did the same but mounted the plug outlet on my crotch cooler (darn handy) - speaking of which -
Captain Itch has just come out with a line of controller mounts! I am using his center console mount. REALLY HANDY to have the ***** at your fingertips while riding!

So, the only advantage is you don't need two hands to plug in the power cord but you still have to deal with the controller wires...right? Captain Itch makes a unit for the controller as I have as well. By the way, I dyed mine black. I used mine this past weekend on a 300 mile ride and it worked fine AND it doesn't scratch the tank as some have feared. See my post; https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ue-solved.html

Would you be willing to further explain your set up with the control ***** up front. It's exactly what I'm looking to do.
So.....what comes out of your jacket and where does it plug in. I apologize in advance, very tired and can't think straight. Was it tough to do? How did you route the wires, under the tank-did you have to remove the tank? For some reason that intimidates me? Guess cause I haven't done it before.
Any help would be appreciated

May I ask where do you get your right angle cord/adapter? Been looking for one. Thanks
Here is a smaller version which is 3.25" wide with out the strap..Still trying to come up with something for the Ultra but that slot is very narrow..This will also hold a cell phone nicely..http://www.shop.captain-itch.com/The...Tank-Panel.htm

Gerbing's sells two kits, one just has the Panel Mounted Port(ACPM), and the other includes the Coiled right-angle cord(ACPMKT).

I just got the ACPM, I'll look into the right angle cord adapter. Thank you for the info.

It looks to me that with the Gerbings permanent mount dual controller you would have two plug-ins to connect each time you get on the bike. Is this correct?? You'd think Gerbing would include an adapter that would combine the two leads to give a single plug.
