Motorcycle USB Weatherproof Power Socket - USB Charger
« on: December 27, 2011, 05:00:59 PM »
Too late for christmas, but I came across this while looking at options to power devices off the bike.

 http://burnsmoto.com/usb-power-socket-weatherproof.php

Currently I use a cigarette lighter socket and either a car charger to power USB devices or use a piggyback plug that has two USB sockets in it.  I am planning on hiding away the power wires connected up most of the time on trips, so either a more hidden variation of what I have or go upmarket.  Hardwiring in the piggyback adaptor would be cheaper alright!

There is a UK product that is more for panel mounting, but it is the 20 pounds, so I gave up thinking about that one.

Now that I am thinking about a USB socket or two I may actually get around to properly wiring up the Fuzebox I have and doing all the accesory wiring properly. ::)

These are the kind that I use. You just push em into your Cig socket. Their cheap as chips, take up no room and they work   :thumbsup
