    Power outlets

    I want to fit some power outlets to the dash area of my transalp, I was gonna fit the twist and lock marine type however this would mean changing the plug to suit, on any devices that I wanted to plug in, problem is on some devices the plug also acts as a transformer ie mobile phone, so I can't do it, I have seen the bog standard cigerette lighter type but only loose ones that fit under the seat, are there any bog standard ones that are water proof that I can fit near the clocks ?

    I have used what i thought was a marine type cigarette socket, they have a rubber bung for when not in use (attached when unbunged so you don't lose it) and a drain hole in case they fill. The have a round plate for flush mounting. Think my mate got them from a boat shop for a few quid each.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
