BearXX Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I was a bit annoyed of removing the seat to get power for my air pump. We travel to about 12 to 16 bike rallies a year, and we use the pump often. I installed an 12V power outlet on the rear of the bike. I found one designed for boats that is air and water tight. Thought this might be helpful. [attachmentid=3810] [attachmentid=3811] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willxx23 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 That looks real clean, hardly notice it there. :icon_thumbsup: Mines under the seat but I only use it for power to my mp3 player or radar detector, it is a little easier to keep things plugged in under there while riding and the cord doesn't have to be super long. Do you use the power adapter while riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Looks like a very clean install, I like it.... My only question is did you wire it direct to the battery or on a relay? I wouldn't want a plug on the back of my bike that had power all the time, with my luck some fuck would drain my battery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use the power adapter while riding? Nope! I'll use it to charge my phone on breaks, but there's no need for it when riding. All bikers alert each other when there is a radar trap. I've never been close to get caught in one. As soon there is sunny, bikers pop up all over. Almost get tired of all the saluting. :icon_wave: Looks like a very clean install, I like it....

Wired directly. Never had any problem of power drain, and there had to be someone with an sharp eye to spot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought of that. :icon_doh: You come out to your bike in the parking lot of Walmart and some fuck is filling his tires off of your bike. All bikers alert each other when there is a radar trap.
