    Thought I would share with everyone the install of a 12v power outlet ordered from Powerlet in case someone is considering this. Kit includes Wiring harness w / 15A fuse along with Powerlet socket with a tight spring lid.
    Keep in mind this is not a cigar type outlet but one a heating vest can install directly into.
    The hardest part was routing the wiring harness from the front left panel to the battery. There is NOT much room to manuver! Direction have you route the harness up on the inside of the frame piggyback with the stock wiring harness. I've got big hands, and at some points had to get my wife to help.

    Thought I would add that you can order a "Cigar" Type outlet that plugs into the one above so you can charge a cell phone/GPS Unit/ etc.
    Tomorrow I tackle the Battery Voltmeter on the right side panel.

    Hey SBK.....I was going to do that, but that is where I'm installing a GPS mount.
    You have got a serious setup there!
