I already have the SAE-type connector hard wired directly to the battery.
That gives me an SAE connection that hangs just below the handlebars (on the left).
So far, I use an anapter that turns the SAE into powered USB for my Tom/Tom GPS.
It works well, but I've learned the hard way (dead battery) to disconnect EVERYTHING from the SAE when I stop for the night.
I also have the connection that turns SAE into the power outlet found in most cars.
I want to connect THIS to it
That would give me a USB to power the GPS and a place to plug in a cheap HEATING PAD to tuck inside my coat for an upcoming November (cold) ride to OMAHA.
I figure I could plug it all in and run with the heating pad inside my riding suit.
Has anyone had any experience with electrical gear like this?
How about electrical gear and rain?
Would it be best to keep the connection device in the frunk and run the wires out from the bottom and up to me?
(that way, rain running down the wire will fall OFF the wire at its lowest point before it goes up and in through the bottom of the Frunk).
Any advice on how to do this better is welcome.
thanks,
