So today i fitted an extra socket to my 1250 Rallye, so I can use items that will work outside the can bus system, for example a small bike compressor for inflating the tyres. There has been a few queries lately on the forum ,So i thought i would show in pictures how i did mine.
I used the din type socket form Nippy Norms https://www.nippynormans.com/chargers-and-sockets/charging-and-sockets/din-size-socket-kit-12v-5a-including-fuse
First off I remove the panel over the battery, threaded the red and black cables under the tank, into the battery area. On the opposite side panel, I drilled an 18mm Hole
i place the socket through the hole and tight up the stainless washer on the rear.
the cables come with ring type washers on them for connecting to the power. The black goes to the battery ( no battery removal required) and the red goes to the live on the frame, this is under the red cap.
Replace the red cap
take up the slack in the cables and fit the inline fuse , I fitted it so its easy enough to get to,under the seat. tidy the cables up pushing them into the tray
Test . Job done.
I opted for the Din socket due to my accessories having a din plug, There is one of these socket kits available from NN with a larger cigarette socket too, so you have a choice. I use the din to cigarette socket adapter if I need to.
