Installing a Powerlet Socket on a Yahmaha FJR

In which I install a Powerlet electrical socket on the left rear frame of an FJR.

The Powerlet system is a plug and socket set for 12 volt DC power. Superficially similar to a traditional 12v cigerette lighter plug system, it is smaller and much more robust and reliable. Powerlets were designed by BMW for their automotive products and are now widely used in many applications requiring reliable DC connections.

I run in to one glitch in this installation which I expect I can fix later.

Did you eventually find a way to hide that cable?

@shroffman - no, but I guess I've gotten use to it. I'll relook the next time I lift the tank, which I plan to do this winter to check my 'black widow' spider connector.
