USP or cigaret lighter instalation - Ennsync_imp - 10-10-2018
Hello forum.
I am so excited that Iam going to ride my 2013 CB 1100 this weeekdn with a big group of riders. I will share my experience after the ride.
I need to install the Chinese GPS recently received for my CB.
it comes with all the mounts and could be easily installed somewhere ,either on handle bar or around.
what is your suggestion for the placement of it? it is a size 5 .
I do not know how to connect it as hot wire, I can put a cigarette lighter or USP socket and wire it from battery and plug it in when bike is on .
for my other bikes I used Eastern Beaver PC8 for connections .
is there any place that it was discussed in this forum before?
Thank you

Ennsync, I have a two outlet waterproof USB mounted on my handlebars to power my phone, which I use as a GPS. The outlet is connected to a spare, switched wire in the headlight bucket.

And the spare that Cormanus referenced is one of the accessory connectors the bike has. It is red, capped and kind of hidden on the left side as looking into the bucket ( right side if sitting on the bike).

Cormanus and Popgun, Thank you so much for this info. So there is an Accessory connector inside the headlight bucket, it is on the left side , it is RED and Capped. Nothing could be more helpful than these two posts , I am going to try to connect my GPS and USB to that before my ride this weekend.
Thank you
