• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

12V Accessory Socket

Questions

New member
I'm wanting to install a 12V socket somewhere in the front to run a gps. I'd like some ideas on where to mount and wire it in. Also where you purchased it. Thanks in advance.
 
Power outlet mounting

I placed mine on the left hand speaker screen near the lower corner. Worked well. Easy to access and did not have to drill any holes in the tupperware. The speaker screen can be easily/cheaply replaced if necessary. Purchased the BRP outlets online. I believe I got them for $10 each including shipping.
 
This shot gives you an idea.

That's where mine are. too. Easy to remove the grills to drill the holes, and more room behind for the outlet and wiring than some other locations. I recommend the Powerlet (BMW-type) outlets. They hold the plug and maintain contact better than the cigarette style. You can obtain them directly from Powerlet, frome vendors like Eastern Beaver (if you also need a fuseblock or ready-made wiring), from the local BMW or other large bike shop, or from a variety of other vendors.
