I stole Devaclis' idea about mounting a Cigarette lighter for a power source, but then I wanted to take it to the next level...
After figuring out how to build one, I did a search and found this.
Didn't see it posted here yet, and I know most everyone who rides further than the next bar could use one of these, so enjoy!
I just ordered one so next week I'll update with how it works (and if it fries my phone).

I like that! I wonder if you can run a couple off of the battery? I don't see why not. Then you don't have to remember all of your chords. Plus you can charge cameras and other shit too.
I considered putting one of those on the Duc, but in the end I decided to stick w/ a cig power source. This way it can stay universal, just swap out the adapter and go...
ordered one of these from touratech
Be sure to let us know how it works out for you though... I am curious.

Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
That's sick that they do it with the SAE plug too. I've already got one of those on the bike for the battery tender. Convenient quick hookup.

But yeah, that's a sweet idea and I am going to install some. Cig lighter plugs are bulky as hell compared to the typical iPhone cable, etc. Nice find!

the brit has a factory powerlet receptacle...had to get the male end from a JD dealer, but then I wired a few USBs underneath the seat.
this is a slick little package though...if only I could find a waterproof USB hub

every time I see that picture it reminds me that I need to steal my bottle opener back...

Yeah, the bottle opener is my next addition.
I think the "Safety Third" sticker would be a requirement at that point.
On a side note, now that cigarette lighters are becoming optional equipment i wonder if the industry will go to a smaller power connector or is the 'cigarette lighter adapter' just too entrenched??
^^ The avalanche my dad just bought has USB connector(s?) in the console...

My new car I just bought has both a cig lighter (power only) and usb port in the center console (ipod, mass storage audio & video, charging).

Here is what I am getting for power. Just to plug my phone in while I am riding. But it works for everything.
