USB ON HANDLEBAR - connection at battery direct .

[rdprdp01]

One or two questions after reading the entire thread:

Is one side of the fuel tank better than the other to run unswitched power wires from the battery to the handlebars?

If anyone has run wires like this, did you use anything to secure the wires up under the tank, or did you just pull the wires up, and they slid up into the gap between the tank and frame and stayed there?

Thanks much for any advice!

Your 2014 DLX makes this task much easier than my 2017 EX. It takes two people to remove the tank on my motorcycle because of a change Honda made to the retention bracket and the tubing connecting the gas tank to the motor!!

You should be able to remove your tank easily on your own. Although some may find the tank removal excessive, I find it easier to keep the cables tidy and avoid crimping something if I have a clear overhead path.

I believe the actual frame, battery placement, and cable routing are identical between our models. When I connected my Quad Lock Mount to my battery, I opted to run the cable on the "right" or "brake" side of the motorcycle, threaded it through existing cabling runs, routed it up and over to the handlebar, and attached the USB-C cable with a soft hook-and-loop velcro cable tie. See pictures below. Hope this helps, and we look forward to you sharing a picture when the job is done.
