Graham NZ 1,186 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 With the official system, is the socket always live? Link to post
Guest bonekicker Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I would think it's only a ignition live--not having the Honda one fitted it's only a guess--I have 2 on bike--1 is on all the time--for charging mobile phone if needed the other is for air compressor then it's best to have the engine running--just in case it flats battery--but needs to be more than 1amp or will blow everytime-- I think mine is 5amp but really cant remember Link to post
Graham NZ 1,186 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 I want to use the socket for a battery minder so an always live socket is needed. Link to post
Taipan 110 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 This guy wires in a permanently live one. 3 Link to post
Graham NZ 1,186 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks, Dave. Just what I needed. 1 Link to post
Trumpet 216 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Honda power outlet is only rated at 36w. I've fitted a direct to battery fused outlet capable of driving an air compressor. On long journeys I carry it along with a plugging kit for tubeless tyres.

Guest Newriever Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I fitted an Oxford optimate fused tail direct to the battery, the waterproof socket is fastened to the left handlebar riser. I carry a short tail with a cigarette lighter socket one end, and optimate plug on the other. No drilling needed. Im confident this will give good use for most accessories. Link to post
