Accessory outlet

[drodg33]

Does anyone have an accessory outlet installed that I can see a picture and where did you purchase one? I know Gerbing's sells one and so does Aerostitch. Thanks

I have had Powerlet outlets on most of my bikes, i put a direct line to the battery for heated gear and charging for the CB that attaches to the frame and tucks under the seat.

I've been installing Coax "N" sockets on my bikes to run radar and GPS.



For heavy duty use, like electric vest, I plug into my Battery Tender SAE plug.

I have an Optimate battery charger with jack(s) coming off the battery, is that the same type of plug the Battery Tender has? and could be used to plug accessories into...

HikerToo - check the amperage ratings on the aftermarket wiring/fuse set up before connecting anything. I have a Battery Tender harness with an SAE connector wired to my battery with a 7.5amp fuse that I use with a Battery Tender and with a USB adapter to charge my cell phone if it needs it while riding. I also have a Firstgear heated gear harness with a 15amp fuse wired to my battery for my heated gloves (off topic, but oh baby those things are sweet). The instructions that came with the Firstgear stuff cautioned about using the Battery Tender SAE connection with coax adapter for the heated gear because of the rating. I had intended to have one harness for everything becasue I really didn;t want a rats nest and I didn;t see the need for both at the same time but gave that up when I realized the ratings were different. I have both harnesses wired to my battery and it's really not a mess at all. By some strange stroke of luck, I actually read the instructions and found that caution before I did something that would set my ride on fire. You may be well versed in this kind of tech, but I thought it was worth throwing out there. Happy motorcycling to you.

Thanks, ah yes, Optimate does offer connection accessories for their battery leads.
