When I bought the VT400 Shadow a few years ago the first thing I did was mount a "cigarette lighter" type 12v power socket to charge phones, GPS, cameras etc. This involved drilling holes and mounting the socket. So, when I picked up my VT750 a few weeks ago the first consideration was to provide a similar auxiliary power supply. Given the last installation was 3 years ago I thought I would check eBay to see what was available and was pleasantly surprised to find this little beauty: This unit mounts on the handle bar and provides both 12v and 5v (USB) sockets. For the Shadow I ordered the 1" mount but others are available. The power cable already has an inline fuse holder so it just a simple matter to wire it directly to the battery. Whole job took 30 minutes including threading the cable under the fuel tank. It would be a simple matter to make up a cable which would connect a battery charger via the 12v socket.

Just had one of these wired up, appears to be ok for the gps, but hard to see in the bright sun.
