Sure,
I like to use a marine 12V water proof female socket you can buy anywhere. Similar to the one that I posted a picture of on the left, not the new one. I have both of mine on 'constant' power due to the fact I like to charge my phone or other devices while I set up the camp site and the bike is not 'on'. You can easily have this still a heavy duty 12V on switched power but you will have to wire in a relay of a switched power source. I like to use the low volt ignition on power source from the two plugs provided for the factory driving lights that are rarely used. This has a nice 'ignition on' power.
When picking up your supplies, make sure to pick up one or two water proof relays. 4-5 pin 20/30A will work fine. I think my 'compressor' socket is on a 15/20A fuse. So I can basically run anything I want. The new USB is on a 10A.
If you want it set up like mine, you run the wires to the battery or your fuse block. If you want it only to be used with 'ignition on', you just install the relay and it will work with ignition on.

You wouldn't have a link to the new one would you. I see some but not with the on /off switch.

Can I ask how you've mounted the Garmin below the clocks please? I like the set-up of the shade, not that I'd need it often living in the UK!

Not too cold today, so a good day to take the springs out of the forks and get them draining.
Haven't decided what route I will go as far as springs/valving before spring, but they had to come apart at some time.
Also finally able to test my latest homemade fork spring compressor. Works awesome and didn't cost me a dime. Made from bits and pieces I had laying around the garage.

Careful not to introduce air into the clutch lines, it's a very small rez and it's a bear to get the air out.
How do you like those Avon Trekriders?

Just curious, what made you choose the Trekriders?
Kind of interested in them for my S10 but there is not too much feedback available.

Hooked up a 12v volt meter/usb outlet to my battery. Getting those nuts back on the battery caused me to invent new cuss words. Altrider crash bars didn't help.
