As promised here are the pictures of the completed installation of the accessory / battery charging socket on the new 09 GTV. Total cost $10.35 (Not counting the charger).
Also a few not so good pic's of the new toy.

Nice job, did you have to run wires from the Left Knee pad to the battery?
You should post this in the Project Reports as well if you haven't already. |

Yes sometimes I think I have more fun doing mod's and working on bike's than using them for what they were intended for. BTW: what should I consider for the next mod? I am thinking a pipe change. Guess I won't do that for $10.00 |

OK Guess the socket still is useable for a GPS, etc, because it wired directly into the battery?

Good clean workmanship.
IMHO, a better place for that inline fuse would be down at the battery. If that hot wire ever shorts to the ground wire, or to chassis, you've got a fire on your hands. |
