I'm kicking around the idea of adding a cigarette lighter adaptor this winter, to charge a phone, run GPS, stuff like that. Anyone add one to an 8th gen with some useful tips on placement? Thanks
I used a double USB port instead of a cigarette lighter but wiring should be the same or very similar (I dunno if it's necessary but I tried to ensure that polarity was correct): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEJVXUK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used a 4 pin connector (you only need wires to 2 of the pins) and ended up connecting it to the OEM accessory connector under the seat (I'm not sure if a standard model 8th gen has that or not): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-S...32734584619.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.QdQNt7 Some plastic hose to help protect the wires: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005V9UU1O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I mounted mine in the same position as Rambler358 did: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index....ive-ram-mount/&do=findComment&comment=1057153 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index....am-mount/&page=4&tab=comments#comment-1068352 But I think others have also attached their ports/cig lighters to either the right or left side of the tank, cutting out holes in the plastic covers next to the tank...
Excellent Samuel - really appreciate the links and description. I'm not going to drill any holes in the bodywork, so a handlebar mount looks like the way to go.
The accessory plug under the seat and a few other different/similar products out there... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Motorcyc...9951&wl11=online&wl12=136091657&wl13=&veh=sem https://www.ebay.com/i/272457186542?chn=ps&dispItem=1 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V...GOcFMhtZB3R0xAiObjPcrhzYDC4KukJRoCf1IQAvD_BwE http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorbike-M...520544&hash=item2a7f604b84:g:owsAAOSw4CFY7G1f https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V...30624112.html?spm=2114.search0302.4.17.ZBsf5c
