Did he really just add that to his bike? Why yes I did.
 

Check this out. I think this is pretty damn unique lol. I wish i could of added it to the June POTM Contest.

So i decided to add a 12V cigarette outlet to my bike to plug things into. Well i shopped on the internet for one and they all cost about 50 bucks.... so i went to Advance Auto Parts and bought all the pieces i would need.... Cigarette lighter, Fuses, Fused wire, extra Wiring and Connectors(male and female) and some electrical tape. For a grand total of $23 dollars with parts to spare. I suck at taking pictures of projects so yea bear with me lol.

Yea Im playing the Game Cube lol.

It was the first thing i thought of when thinking of what i could hook up to the 12V lol. I wish i could of added it to the POTM thread. Can i maybe have a late submission lol.

Goober! :lol:

So you are one of those....

Awesome

Why thank you lol. I thought it was quite ingenious myself lol

What do you mean one of those???
Thanks

I like it!

:lol: that's awesome

Game Cube :lmao:

That's hilarious

(I have the Advance Auto special mounted on my bike too only mine came with a red cap ... it's in a temporary mounting location right now {read: zip-tied to the left side of the frame :lol:}).

Hack of the day!

Lol. Yea it was easy only took me 45 min to get everything set up and ready. I like the black cap more. they had the red cap there but i wanted black

Nice!

:lol:

I love it!

Good idea...a friend did that so he could plug in either a radar detector or his GPS and I may do the same later on...but not to play games. :lol:

Dammit! They didn't have the black cap when I went there :rant:

Agreed. :lol: but ever so cool.

And the game ... :lol

Yea thats what i installed it for. I have ordered a Tom Tom Rider 1 GPS for 45 bucks on ebay with a 90 day warranty so im thinking it must be good. I have also gotten an A/C inverter with a USB plug in it so i can plug almost anything in as in my phone,GPS,Radar,MP3 and the video camera i ordered. Its the Drift XC170. Cant wait to get some Video with that sucker.

There wasnt a game in it i didnt want to kill my battery with it plugged in.

One question how can i have my connections all hooked up to the battery without it killing the Battery? Will i need a junction box or an "on-off" switch that goes in between it or something?

Too bad this was too late for the pic of the month...

yes. the touring/sport touring bikes get a lot of this kinda stuff going on... my ex had a set of 5 switches that he added to his R12RT, and that ran to a FuzeBlock which was tied to the battery. Switched power for a myriad of accessories, including one switch for a cig plug like you've got :)

If I were a dude, i'd be all "hey bro"...

I know I wish i would of done it earlier.

Yea thats what i was thinking. But i think ill just go with one master switch and a fuse box.

This is what I did. It all fits under my seat on the left side of the photo. There is a fused line from the battery to the relay switch which is turned on by a positive signal from the horn. From the relay power goes to the fuse block and each output (6 total) has its own fuse. the whole thing is basically a 2nd wire harness completely seperate from the bikes wire harness, the only connection is from the horn to turn the relay on.

Slap yourself.

With what?

:lol: interesting


and to answer your question derF... Dlit would say... a bag of dicks

With your hand. Open fist. From up top.

If you bring me a bag of cocks your new name should be ebbs bobbitt

I was doing some moto related electronics searching and stumbled on this. At $70 its a little pricey for a fuse block, but it has some neat options on it, like having a built in relay, and the ability to have each fuse be either switched or constant power

Yeah I saw that last night too derf... there was another... blue sea I think it's called... I'll try to find it.

Blue sea is just a fise pannel, its waht I have and its only like $25

:lol Did you notice the capital letters when I was talking about Fuze Block in my earlier post? These are actually designed/sold by a friend of mine who put about 150k on his last ST 1300 before it had an incident... I don't know how many miles he has on his current ST, but that crazy cat rides anywhere and everywhere. They are pretty neat... and considering what they can do for you, they're worth the money if you're going to have multiple accessories that you need to run to multiple switches. It's probably not the best choice for a single accessory. :)

What is that gamecube screen? Just out of curiosity.
