I ride my bike quite a bit. I drive my truck maybe 10 miles a week now. I also listen to music while I ride. Well, Pandora radio eats up Battery life pretty good. So, I went to Harley to see if there was any power adapter available for the Dyna. No, there is not. Just the Road/Street/Electra Glides. So I set out to do a custom job.
So I buy the Harley power outlet, and set out to chase some wires with my DMM. I take off the seat, and what do I see? A fused accessory wire with the same plug as my kit.
2 hours later and a lot of wire routing, I now have a 12V jack to plug my car charger in.
Tomorrow I am going to a buddy of mines leather shop to get a leather pocket made for my phone to mount onto the leather strip between my tank and seat.
Then Sunday, some friends and I are going on a day long ride to Tombstone. It is about 4 1/2 hours 1 way through the scenic routes of Southern Arizona. I will try and get some pics along the way.
So here are some pics of my custom rigging.
This is the Harley 12V outlet.
The male end is the 12V outlet, and the female end is the acc plug I found under the seat.
The wire mess under the seat where I found the acc wire after some digging
The opening in the top left of the fuse box is where the outlet is going to sit after I find a 7/8 hole saw.
Where my finger is touching is where the black H-D cap will stick out of the fuse box cover.
This is where it is currently temporarily mounted.
Key off......
Key on......
....and she works! This is where my phone will sit after I get the pocket made.
