On a serious note: That looks very nice!
But what if you get spray from wet roads?

California by midd April and do the wiring. I ll probably take it to the fuse box where I spotted
an empty fuse. I ll get back to this issue later. Perhaps Gary has by then more accessories to
bolt on.

There is already the correct cable with plug, on top of the fuse box,it is tapped in blue tape to another wire
and it mounts beside the key ignition.

Is that wrong?

What are you screwing the bracket into? The cable cover thing?

| | Posted : 27 May 2010 - 12:33 Post title : Re: The power adapter bracket (Re: Pappasgarage) | | | for those of you that need power via mini-usb connection (phone, GPS, etc.) this is a very nice solution: Link
it wires directly to the battery, provides 5 volts (standard USB voltage) and when routed under the tank is not very visible.

| | Posted : 10 Oct 2010 - 17:52 Post title : Re: The power adapter bracket (Re: Jimbo) | | | OK - so now my phone can charge while I ponder around the Swiss roads - PLUS - I'll be using it as my Optimate (battery tender / charger) input location!
I did look at the OEM socket, but as it's been commented - it's the smaller version of your standard car socket.
So I bought:
- a standard 12V cigerett socket
- black outdoor silicone-filler
- black cables ties
General testing of location - tucked up and under the tank on top of injector air input tubing...
I wired the socket directly to the battery, with a 5A fuse inline.
I wrapped some plastic tubing and black electrical tape around the threading/rear of socket...
Then using some outdoor/all weather/saltwater resistan/-30 to 150 C silicone I...
... 'gundged' up the back of the socket 
Then using two black cable ties I fixed the socket on top of the injector/air feed tubing.
Everything works wonderfully!
Total cost:
- SFr. 19.00 Socket
- SFr. 6.90 Silicone (loads left over - can/will be used for future projects)
- SFr. 2.50 Cable ties
---------------------------
SFr. 28.40
Triumph OEM Power Socket
SFr. 45.00 - plus it's the wrong size for me!
Hope this helps someone
