USB charger?

[Buck]

what would you suggest for a USB charger on my bike? I have seen a few, and ranging anywhere from $25-$300 for a set up. i just need something basic, and reliable that wont kill my battery. I am a process server and my GPS tends to die quicker then i can get the papers out. so i need something i can plug my GPS usb charger into while i ride to keep it going.

Wow, I'm not sure if this has ever come up before. Buy the one you like the most and maybe ask the folks the best way to hook it up(for your GoldWing).

~O~

Buck, I bought a 12- 5v reducer from a site Buy in Coins in China. I intend to use some old USB hubs and create a pretty good charging circuit for on the GW. I will run my iPhone all the time as GPS, music if required and phone through a blue tooth headset. I also have a battery back up which I think that I purchased from them as well $23.

I would mount a power outlet (cig lighter socket) maybe onto one of the bar clamps then that way you could plug in one of the power outlet usb chargers, something like this one. https://www.sportsimportsltd.com/ac-dc-u ... Qgod4zcACw

I have a cig lighter outlet mounted in my faring wired to the ACC terminal on my fuses. Use it to charge my phone.

I have the old cig outlet on my '83 aspy and it served well to charge my mp3 player, and smart phone on our vacation in florida, I found long usb to micro usb patch cables and the "power outlet" with mutiple usb outlet adaptors at my local dirt mall so everything would reach my pocket and allow me to step off with out unhooking first.

I use a ciggie lighter to power my GPS. I don`t smoke but find the lighter handy for the phone also.

Have a look at this kit:

The power outlet clamps to the bars and has enough wire to reach the accessory fuse connection at the fuse block under the false tank

I installed a fused cig lighter socket, too. But I also added a switch going directly to the battery whick keeps the charging unit independent from the wing electrical system.
