GPS Power on Fatboy

[lorne]

Big ugly power adaptor is better looking than smoke escaping from the sat nav, as i am sure you are aware once the smoke escapes from the electronics you cant get it back in there

have done a few smoke shows in the past. all this should fit under the seat though so that's a good thing. did you get your grass cut?

You can pickup one of this 12V plug with USB output...I think it was $5-$7 at your local drugstore or electronics store, then buy a USB to USB Mini plug from 99c Store or similar, if for your GPS, Cell Phone, Headset accessory uses the USB mini nowadays and you should be fine.

I did MacGyver up a solution.

I got a cigarette power unit from Radio Shack and I soldered the end of a battery tender cable on. (Then can plug in on side).
I took a sham-wow like towel and glued on some magnets.
Then I mounted the power unit to the towel, wrapped it up and glued velcro strips to close it all up.

Since I will only need this when I ride with my GPS I just plug the harness to the battery, mount the magnets to the tank and plug her in.

Seems to work just fine. Cost maybe $20 total.
