| Would like to install Auxiliary Power Source Outlet Plug-in 12V Accessorie (cigarette Lighter plug) to charge laptop, use inverter, etc. Has anyone done this and what would be the best place to put it and how to do it-where to connect the wires and so on? I have a 2006 Silverwing.

| There is a place for one in the LH cubby - European Wings have one fitted as standard.
I think one for a Goldwing fits with little or no modification.

| Wow what a quick response, I'll be back in Nova Scotia in a week and will try to put it on my SWing. Was in Newfoundland for a month (flew down no bike) on a visit. By the way it is bike haven here, nothing to see 20-40 bikes go by at a time.

| I did a power outlet twice. Once by the parking brake. It was easy but there is potential electrical short there waiting to happen from the parking brake pin.
I sucked it up and did the European in the left bin Gold Wing receptacle. I had all the front tupperware off anyway so with 1 stone I killed 2 birds: HyperPro springs and the DC outlet. Both of these were so much easier with the tupperware off. |

Yes - I use an AC inverter attached to the cig. lighter plug that also has a USB charger on it so I can keep my phone/GPS powered on longer trips. I use one that has a fan in it so I can hear it when I shut dowh the bike. Forgetting to unplug it can draw down the battery if you forget it over night... I have used it to run the laptop briefly, but I find that it is usually easy enough to find a coffee shop willing to let me plug in.

| That's an important point - the socket when fitted as standard is live even when the ignition is off.

It's perfect for running a battery maintainer. Just plug the maintainer into the socket. No need to jumper on to the battery. |
