i like your idea better... use the battery tender cord, then connect a Lighter/ accessory to that (with the proper plug)... make it a velcro strap typ mount, tying it to the frame near the front of the bike. Plug in a GPS, or radio, or whatever. Remove everything when not in use.  |
I used the HD logo covered cigar lighter accessory made for your RK or EG bagger, it uses the 4 mini-pin German plug with your bike. You can buy a Y cord with added 4 pin plugs so you can attach more than one accessory like electric vests and other goodies, using additional cigar lighter receptacle cords, a very clean design. In your case I would stick with the OEM Harley accessory without fancy improvizations
Since my Sportster is more "bare-bones" and has no such accessory option, I was kinda forced to do so, besides I have to put my hard earned EE degree to good use once in a while anyway.
BTW The instructions that come with it want you to drill a single 7/8" hole for a clean OEM look installation with a template that shows you exactly where the hole is made. The Kuryakin $40 chrome mount looks nice, worked well for my Tom-Tom, is easy on & off, and less expensive than some of the $140 mounts I have seen elsewhere.
