spare power socket in headlight
#3
There are 2 (red) accessory connectors on the bike. One is back by the battery on the left side in a big plastic boot. The other is in the headlight bucket, on the bottom on the right side. There are no know options that plug into them.

You can purchase connectors and pins for them. They are Sumitomo connectors. I purchased a kit of connectors and a crimping tool and pinned one up and added a power port. Sumitomo connectors are easy to work with.

There are a few sources for them. Here is the one I used: http://www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html

The connector is the 4th one down. The 2 pin is the one you want and you need the male connector. The kit I bought and crimp tool is at the bottom of the page.

Here is a pic of the accessory connector. The red one on the bottom http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread....9#pid87099
To add to the above, if you buy the crimp tool, it does not come with instructions and has multiple locations for crimping. One is used for the pin wire crimp and one is used for the insulation or weather plug crimp. I found a UK site that sells the tool that has instructions, or I can tell you what positions to use. OR, I guess you could use needle nose or whatever, but the tool does a professional crimp.

There are charts online that show proper crimps of various pins and connectors, and I found one you-tube tutorial of a Sumitomo pin crimp.
