Fitting satnav to bike


Recommended Posts

I'd go for the fag lighter socket over the tom tom thing you linked. The socket is more versatile (and cheaper), the other thing limits you to stuff using that 1 connector type. You can even get little USB adaptor things for the fag sockets.


They are easy to fit, you can see one in the photo I posted earlier on the left bar, ugly but functional. I had planned to set it in the infill panel but got lazy. Wiring them up is simple, just lift the tank, run the wire along the side of the frame and connect up to battery, stick the tank, ensuring you leave enough slack in the wire to turn the bars full lock and jobs done. Or you can get all fancy and wire it in to something switched, again I didn't bother, unless you are the kind of guy that forgets to take his socks off before a shower you probably won't leave your satnav plugged in when the bike is off to kill the battery.
