A friend is buying a new KTM Adventure and wants some help from me to install:

(a) Garmin GPS - so that's just a power lead, to an ignition switched feed.

(b) Starcom box - not particularly large - and requires ignition switched power

(c) Something called an Inforad GPS based speed camera detector - not particularly large - and requires ignition switched power

(d) Maybe a Kenwood bike-to-bike radio - a bit chunky - and requires ignition switched power

He is buying an ABS version which means, I hear, that much of the under seat area is taken up with a box of gizmo's for the ABS brain.


From pictures I can see that there is a power outlet (Din socket) on the clock surround. I assume this is fused and switched via the ignition? He wants to leave the socket itself free for quote, "Other things".

Questions:

Are there, like the 1200 GS, any additional power sockets / spare leads to tap into / use?

If not, where do most people tap into for a switched power supply?

Any useful cubbyholes around the bike to stuff the Starcom, the Inforad and a Kenwood radio?

Any help, ideas, pic's etc. greatly appreciated.

I see plenty of opportunity for teasing ahead ....

I gave him the TT catalogue and Nippy N's details. Should be a bumper year for them.....

My only regret is that I lost those Welsh flag stickers.....Still, the time will come.....
 
Rest assured, it will be brilliant.

If you want to buy one, I predict a very nice condition, low mileage one, for sale, by....ooooh, let me see.....April 2011.......

You forgot to mention that it will (by then) have Akro cans, Power Commander and more bling than Puff Daddy, all at no extra cost but strangely no panniers ....:confused:
