12v socket placement at front ?
#12
I put a cigarette lighter socket on the LH inner fairing, about half way back; it's a Maplins jobbie with a supposedly waterproof cap (labelled "MARINE"). Eventually got around to fitting an inline fuse (6A wire, 5A fuse) but it didn't catch fire in the interim even with an always-on connection (just put it straight onto the battery terminals, wire under the tank) and parked up out in the rain. No flat battery either (except when I leave the parking light on, which I do routinely about once every six months) No fouling problems with a flush-fitting USB plug, can run a phone charger wire etc. into tank bag or pocket.
