Dual USB Charging Port
Anybody using one of these?
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...T.ac=SLIsearch I'm thinking of upgrading a few things on Grace. I already have a GPS and may want to add a GoPro later. My current charge port is one of the cigarette lighter type with a rubber cap.

Thanks for the heads up.
I already have several adapters for 1-2 USB/Cig-Port. Looking for a "Bling" upgrade to serve more than 1 device to be installed during (instead of) re-wiring my charge port. I don't have use for a Cig. lighter so was thinking direct connect options.

It can if you use the Skeleton housing. But it won't be water proof and wind noise is a problem. I set my camera to take a picture every 10 seconds not video so sound is not an issue for me.

My present charger has some other "issues" and the one I mentioned is handlebar mount and shinny chrome. I'm not usually "Deal" driven and I'm not too happy with my $8 "cigarette lighter" power source. Also just ordered a set of Kuryakyn ISO grips and a "Throttle Boss". That was about $100.00 after shipping. (mostly just for bling)
Re-Ask/Clarification of Question: Is the part mentioned a P.O.S. that should never be used? OR, a reliable, good looking, easy to use product? + Do you have one/do you like it?

UPDATE: I ordered the charger. I'll give it a review and do some picks once it's on.

Another UPDATE: The charger looks and works as advertised. "Soft points" are that once installed into the holder it doesn't look like it will ever be removable without damage to the unit. Also the power connection wires are minimalist even for a 3 amp device (fragile?). There is a little black box in line after the fuse link, its sealed so no access for diagnostics. The wire from the box to the unit is more sturdy and double cased.
