RiceBurner Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Going to be taking a long road trip on my 650 V-star and thought I'd like to have an inverter put on so I can keep my phone/gps charged.Any local business that sells/installs them? I will be hitting the road the 28th so I'm looking to get it done pretty quick.Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) are you looking to charge both at once? If you use a battery tender, they make power plugs the size of a cig lighter that just plug directly in. Thats what I use for my phone, I use a powerlet for my GPShttp://www.wiremybike.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_51&products_id=390 Edited June 19, 2012 by Bad324 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceBurner Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I would only charge one at a time. I am not comfortable doing it myself but yeah a single port would work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not comfortable doing it myself but yeah a single port would work for me.do you have a battery tender connection? if so its no different than plugging a plug into a wall socketEven if you don't, it would be about a 10 minute install if you know how to install a battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yea +1 on what Bad said, plus I don't think I would run an inverter off a cycle battery they draw a lot of juice. Just do the 12volt outlet off the tender cable and get you a good car phone charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceBurner Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 do you have a battery tender connection? if so its no different than plugging a plug into a wall socketEven if you don't, it would be about a 10 minute install if you know how to install a batteryThanks for the suggestion I'll check it out. I don't currently have a battery tender connection but I think I can spare a few minutes to install a power plug! Thx bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, I bought that setup for my brother, and it's been great for him. I knew my parents had gotten him a gps unit for Christmas, and I gave him a motorcycle guide of the pacific northwest. I'll have to pull the publisher/series, but it takes 3-4 states and breaks down the rides by starting location, duration, and "sight seeing" versus sport riding. If there isn't one for Ohio, I wish I had a couple of summers free to make one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
