Supporting Member piotrek Posted December 24, 2017 Author Supporting Member Share Posted December 24, 2017 Installed the Powerlet socket (PSO-007) on rear-right trim panel (mirror opposite side has the seat lock on there). Used a rubber spacer (PMI-008) to reduce depth on the inside of the panel. Terrible space to work with, but doable. One other outlet will go where 3banger installed his, here. Got a bunch of plugs and will be converting cords (jacket, pump etc.) to use the Powerlet system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looking good @piotrek. What made you go for powerlet connectors instead of SAE type? Just curious about your thought processes as my battery tender connector is SAE and I’m planning on putting an SAE external connector on my new SH23 side case so I can charge my phone inside. It’s not too late for me to change my mind if there’s a compelling reason. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

BBB Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I went for this connector for the side case https://www.amazon.com/OptiMATE-CABLE-Weatherproof-socket-front/dp/B0031BOTFC and will run an SAE cable from under the seat to that connector, then an SAE to micro USB 5V converter to my phone. That’s the plan for after xmas anyway. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Where on the SH23 are you planning to install the thing? I need to mock it all up on the bike, but Santa still hasn’t let me play with them yet. [Always better to buy whatever you really want for xmas and then let the wife “give” them to me]. I was thinking high on the front of the case: on the front to avoid rubbish from the rear tyre; and high to make it easy to plug in the phone when the cases are packed. I accept that that means the connector is being driven into rain on wet days, but the connection where they join has a sleeve that pulls over the joint and if it were to be biblically torrential I would just disconnect until better weather.

Supporting Member piotrek Posted January 21, 2018 Author Supporting Member Share Posted January 21, 2018 Finally starting to look like there is a motorcycle in my garage. I was going to install just the steering set, forks and the front wheel (with new RS3)... but decided I'd also do the air box and the tank. Even fitted one new SH23 side case just for kicks. A bit of wiring left to do and then it's pretty much just assembly. I can see the light. Mulling over a new seat. Couple of shots... this morning, and advanced a bit.

koth442 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just something inexpensive off eBay. Didn't care for logos etc... something like this. Fit is pretty good.Good find. I think I'll pick one up. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member clint Posted January 21, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 21, 2018 Piotrek, what kind of radiator guard do you have? Just something inexpensive off eBay. Didn't care for logos etc... something like this. Fit is pretty good.Make sure there is cushion tape between the radiator guard and radiator. My R&G came with it. I've seen guys online report that the vibration will wear a hole in the radiator. Piedmont of NC '15 FJ-09 '94 GTS-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted January 21, 2018 Author Supporting Member Share Posted January 21, 2018 Lats thing to do electrically... replace the lighter type socket with a Powerlet type (Amazon). OD of the threaded part of the housing was just a tad too large, so had to enlarge the opening by ~1mm overall. Now I can actually use the thing.

dbeau Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'd like to add another power outlet that just has usb ports. Anyone have a recommendation? preferably something that'll plug into the stock wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBB Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Installed the SW-Motech skid plate today! Looks great ?? Here’s hoping you’ll never be in a position where it’s needed. I remember when mine looked as clean as that. They go much duller looking from road salt so I plan to take it off and give it a good clean when spring arrives. There’s no point now as it gets filthy on every ride. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
