12 Volt Outlet

I am thinking of adding a 12 volt outlet on my C90T to power my GPS unit.
Anyone ever done this mod, and if so, where did you mount the socket?

you want to put it where you wont have wire hangiing everwhere... some folks choose handle bars... mine is mounted in faring ( kinda out of the weather and easy to reach)

Looks like the the front fork area may be a good spot. What does the local motorcycle shop suggest?

I machined out a mount that attached to the speedo bolt on my Sporty. Used a cigarette lighter socket and element from an early 80s Chevy van. Worked out great. Could light a smoke at 60mph.
Why not hard wire a power cord for the GPS, route it with the factory wires and put a stowage dummy plug on the GPS mount? Neat, tidy and easy!

You're right... hanging wires is the last thing I would want. Thanks for the reply. -Rick

Haven't checked with anybody but you forum guys yet. Hadn't thought of the front fork... good idea! - Rick

"...put a stowage dummy plug on the GPS mount? Neat, tidy and easy!"

Not sure what a "stowage dummy plug" is. Can you give me some more info on this or a link to where I can get one? thanks - Rick

Just a place to put the power plug when not in use to keep it from shorting out or flopping around. Maybe drill a hole in the GPS mount and put a rubber vacuum cap in the hole that will hold the power cord end. Just one idea.

somthn like a quick connect plug like used on trickle charger

They make a handlebar mounted one that's waterproof. You could hide the wires with a small sized corrugated wire conduit.
