12v Electrical Sockets

[XRV_AndyM]

Hey,

Just wondering have any of you guys fitted 12v sockets to your bikes? It took me about 6 months to find the perfect solution for my @. It is Connected straight to the battery, fused and has plastic covers to keep the rain out. Charges my Phone, Powers the Garmin GPS V and Recharges Batteries on the go. It works perfectly but just wondering is there anything I should know... eg... will my battery blow up in the middle of my holidays in Spain or something??

Looks very good.
Where did you get them sockets from?

[XRV_AndyM]

Got the sockets in the local MOTORWAY store here in Dublin. The covers came from a different setup which I got in an electrical store www.peats.com

Took me ages to find the covers. i had to buy a 4 socket Car extension thing for €20 just to get the covers. Not cheap but worth it. Whole setup cost about €50 and two hours to fit.

I like the plywood windscreen - is that a Powerbronze option?

[XRV_AndyM]

It's actually plywood stained titanium with kevlar Knots. It's a one off, specially hand-crafted and varnished using Ronseal. Had to put it onto the bike because I was afraid of water getting into the electrical sockets!!
