I recently installed a 12 Volt Power source on the KLR. This will be handy for mounting my new Magellan Roadmate GPS.....my RAM Motorcycle Mount system is "in the mail" and should be here in a few days. This is going to be a slick set up. The outlet will also come in handy for charging my cell phone while out on trips.
The install was pretty easy - I ran the wires along the frame with the others in a nice tidy package.....installed a 30 amp fuse on the positive wire back at the battery - done! I haven't permanently mounted the outlet - going to wait until I mount the GPS to make sure it's in the right place. I am getting pretty good at removing the gas tank LOL. Next time is going to be a pain - I think I stripped one of the bolts....aaaaarrrrrgh.

I got an anonymous question about this post that I couldn't reply to so I am posting it here. Anwser - no, I don't get paid to blog about anything related to any of the content. It's just a hobby and I actually have not written anything for a long time.
Also, this particular power set up was a "flop". The 12 volt socket I purchased was not suitable for motorcycle applications due to excessive vibration. I replaced it with a Powerlet brand socket and plug which is much better for this type of set up. I also used one on my Triumph Tiger 1050.
