Motorcycle USB

[Enword]

What have others done for USB socket/port on their bike's ?

 

[Richard n Ann]

Optimate plug wired straight onto the battery via 5a fuse with an in-line cigar lighter socket and a USB adapter, you can remove it all when not needed with the Optimate plug.

I've done exactly the same as @Richard and Ann so I can charge my iPhone while using TomTom on the bike

I have a BC Bravo fly lead fitted & adapter, under the seat, but wondered if any of you had fitted any thing to the bar's, that didn't look like it had come out of a Christmas cracker

Not a Bravo its a 3500

I have cigarette lighter sockets, one in the glove compartment and one in the top box and can use USB plug adaptor in either plus anything else I want. That's the beauty of a proper touring bike.

I have a 240v inverter on my GSXR. Got a 24" telly on top of screen and powers the beer fridge in the panniers

Missus is miffed that both panniers are full of beer.

Hmm, any ideas to help her ?

Now you're just being silly. 24" tv is simply not practical, it will restrict the top speed to warp factor 2 and block your vision of the speed cameras. The panniers would also be better employed as bass boxes for the sound system.

Mines under the seat too, but I bought a cheapy 3m usb extension cable and ran that up to the bars

And when not using TomTom you can play silly buggers with G-Force apps

Kids eh

Yes, I have a double USB bar mounted socket. Allegedly waterproof 'till you actually use it. Sorry can't remember the ebay seller but it was pretty cheap.

I think it's this one............

 

[RogerThat]

Which app is that?

It's the (really) old MCN ride logger app. It was cutting edge back then, definitely not worth £4.99 in today's app market

There are probably 101 newer and better apps for measuring G-force these days though

Just been in the garage, mine is the same and with a good look I'm impressed at the quality of the cable, proper job thick stuff.

On my GS I have a two USB adapter plugged into the DIN socket.
