    Hello forum. I do not know if I am in denial or this bike is not perfect for my purpose.
    I am looking to see if there are factory installed unused plugs for adding accessories , For my other Bike(CB1100) there are 2 placed by Honda, one being in the head light bowl ,another being in the side cover to the battery, if there are any designed by Honda that could be used for GPS and USB that are working with turn key on/off that saves me a hot wiring.
    Let me know if you know any
    Thank you
    Ride safe/Ride long

    Yes there is a plug you can use.

    If you search the forum here and on the other one there are several threads covering the subject.

    There is an accessory plug in the battery tray area, not sure about up front too. You have to make a compatible plug though, like on your CB1100.

    The Honda accessory socket plugs into a switched power source that is next to the battery.

    I use the SAE direct to battery connection for my USB adaptor... plugs right into the SAE plug when riding, when not, remove it and plug in the NOCO Genius tender. Only issue it isn't switched, but for my phone, etc. I always take it off the bike anyway when not riding, so no battery drain.. For my aux running LED lights and my Garmin GPS, I've spliced a hot wire to the AUX plug by the fuse tray.. neg to ground.. then run a wire pair (P&N) down left side of frame, and up thru opening forward of tank and fork stem. Splice those wires and run one pair down, just above front fender for aux LED lights, other wire pair runs to Garmin RAM mount utilizing Telferizer mount on fork stem.. Those are switched and work fine... So far has worked as they should....
