hi
just got a sat nav and would like to now the best place to wire it to the bike r100gs
as i am going to fit a light socket on all info will be best
 
On my 100GS I already had the accessory socket fitted, and so used a powerlet socket into a centech fuse panel. The gps / autocom etc are then powered from the centech panel. During the day the powerlet is plugged in, at the end of the day it's unplugged. Allows the battery to be easily charged too :)
 
my bike has a accessory socket fitted never used it so i think i could wire the light socket in to the accessory socket and put tend in to my tank bag
 
i meant a lighter socket for the sat nav to run off
sorry about missing of part of the work
 
Ah :blast on my bike I fabricated a bracket to go on the right-hand side of the bike, and then used a NN accessory socket, as it came with a fuse already fitted :)
 
just going to put mine in the tank bag as it is not water prof
 
What's a "light socket" :confused:

a light socket would be anything from 4mm to 13mm.
anything bigger could be described as a heavy socket. :augie
it's o.k - no thanks needed.
here's one i prepared earlier....

:D

i have just wired up my lighter socket on to the bikes accessory socket the way there wire were fixed on was bad so i put a new socket on and it works the wire come out under the front of my seat and goes in the my tank bag i have put the socket in a water proof bag as the socket is one of the metal one and not the ones covered in plastic plus if its in the bag it should be fine and when i get some money i will get a sat nav clamp for my bars

Wow -have you found the full-stop key yet ? Commas are good too, I love 'em !!! :D

Just bought a Centech fuse box for my PD -where have people fitted them ?

Fitted mine on the back mudguard after using "potting" on the underside of the PCB.
I then binned it after 6 months.
I the terminals are cheap junk and 2 of them failed.

I think a Power Plate from the US would be a much better solution. It uses a relay. I had one on my Valk and it worked very well.

Just my 2d :D

Thanks John -doesn't sound too promising, but guess I'll coat with ACF, as with everything electrical . Maybe you got too much rainwater in it ?
I was thinking of fitting just in front of the toolbox ?
