Aux Power Point

[Cam]

I have bought an Auxillary Power Point I want to put on my 2007 Transalp 650. Anyone got an suggestions as to the best place to moubt it that makes it most user friendly. You could save me a bit of time in putting it somewhere, trying it realising it is in the wrong place and moving it.
I want to use it for charging GPS or charging phone when on multi day trips

put mine up on the dash

easy to get to and your gadget can sit behind the screen. Also use it for plugging my Accumate charger into

Didn't bother mounting mine. Coiled up under the seat, then I can pull out the length I want and put the phone and charger in the tank bag.

I am thinking about using the lead from my solar charger, it came with a lead that has eyelets ( used on bike ) and a lead with crocodile clips.
I am thinking of fitting an Aux socket to that lead and using it for when I need to power something like a phone or air pump.
When at home in the shed it can be replaced with the solar panel.

I have left mine poking out from under the seat, towards the front of it just to the left of the tank. I use it for battery charging and powering heated clothing.

However if I was using it for a GPS unit, I would mount a fixed socket on the bars or the fork area.

Touratech do a fork mount socket
Touratech UK Webshop

and Powerlet in the USA do a bar socket
Powerbar 7/8" To 1" Black Anodized - Powerlet Products

Powerlet are not cheap but their products are excellent quality and offer fast delivery times from the US. I've used their sockets on several bikes including the unmounted socket I have installed on my 700 Alp.

Honda do a 12v socket that plugs into the loom dont they? Bit expensive though at £35.

For the 700 they do,the 650/600 has to be battery fed.
