Hi, can anyone tell me where I can purchase an 12v electric pump that will fit into the 12v socket on my 1200gs. It appears to be smaller than the uk fit.

Welcome to the collective.
You can purchase a converter or even a din plug for the socket from different sources including Nippy Normans

Hello Snowy
Welcome to the site.
On slight word of caution. If you are thinking of running a tyre inflating pump from one of the auxiliary sockets, you may be unlucky. Most pumps, my Slime for example, draw more than 5 amps, either on first starting or when puffing hard.
This trips the Canbus system and cuts off the power to the socket, the equivalent of blowing a conventional 5 amp fuse. It may well prove easier to power the pump direct from the battery (crocodile clips are popular) via, say, a suitable 10 amp fuse. It's not everyday that you need the pump, I guess?
Alternativly, you might want to go the whole hog and add a dedicated socket and fuse, wired direct to the battery. This might be useful of you want to run other devices, beyond a pump. For instance, a light or as in input for a battery charger perhaps?
Nippy Norman sells some good sockets and there are others around:
BAS-BS10
or
BAS-SD14
