Just wanted to pass along a great product I found. I use my Iphone to listen to music while I ride and on long trips it tends to drain the battery. And since I also use to navigate a dead phone means I cant find my way home. I found this great power outlet that I just installed and it works great. Waterproof, easy to install, comes with handlebar mount (which I didnt use because I mounted it in the tail section) and its relatively cheap.

Its not how fast you go, its how little you slow down.
Cool! Need this, my GPS sucks the phone battery DRY. So it's a cigarette-lighter adapter that wires directly to your battery, or the fusebox? How do you have yours setup? I have a USB adapter like one of these in my truck, so guess that'll work?...

Have a similar one wired up to the duc. Works great to charge the phone, but also powers the GPS when touring.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
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.
I installed a Powerlet on the VFR for last weekend's 1000mi loop out to Durango. Powered my phone running Instamapper and Pandora the whole way.

Yep that's exactly how I have it. I was going to try and eliminate all the adaptors, cig outlet to USB adaptor to iPhone cord to iPhone. But since everything, including heated gear, offers a cig lighter plug it seemed that that was the most universal power source.Cool! Need this, my GPS sucks the phone battery DRY.

Nice, thanks! I listen to music too, but my attery usually lasts all day, and then I bring the charger along to charg at night. I usually have my player on my wrist so I don't want a tether to the bike, but I think it'd be good for my GPS, or the new one I want.Just wanted to pass along a great product I found.

Just received this and also a tire repair kit. Thanks for the heads up. Seems pretty rugged.
I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.
I bought a cig lighter socket at West Marine and had it right below the Powerlet on my 2000 Sprint. My new Concours came with a cig lighter style socket in the dash.
I rigged up a removable dual-cigarette lighter system on my Z. Complete with fusible link, quick connect plug-ins, and waterproof outlets. Cost was about 30 bucks including buying the eyelets and heat shrink.

Your welcome. Happy it worked for you.

Cool. Been wondering about something like this.
Yep, sure is nice to have that built in.
