I wound up going with this Iuhan® Fashion Car Boat Motorcycle Dual USB Charger DC 12V To 5V 3A Power Adapter Supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCIEX6U..._GRd9xbBX0WF0S. Im going to drill a small hole in the right glove box (leave it in there) and with a fuse wire it the accessory wires down by the headlight.

That is really clever. I like that idea of having it facing up. The vibration can't shake it out if gravity is working in your favor.

Vibration solution
Version 1.0 , Not pretty but looks like it will work. V1.1 will have better angles and a polished look. Raining today so I have not tested it. May not be the best idea, but the Concept is sound. Ideas can be built off of this.

I went more low budget, but it seems to work for me. I found a socket with a cover tethered to it that keeps the water out. I just wire tied I to the wire/controls going to the left side handle bar.

Well To long of a bracket, if it falls off it will scratch my tank. maybe if it came up under the plug and I used a cable tie to hold the plug in?

Another good source for waterproof/marine electrics is here: https://powerwerx.com/panel-mounts All of the items on this page come with rubber gaskets and cover plugs. Kinda pricey, but is just exactly what I was looking for! hank43 |
