1400 Power Outlet?

[Kevin M]

I’m a new owner of a 2014 1400 Touring, wondering if anyone has installed a power outlet for phone charging & if so, where did you mount it? I’m just looking for some ideas.

I can't seem to locate a pic, but I got this little deal that clamps onto the handlebar. There is both a round plug as well as a USB plug. It has rubber caps and is plastic. I wired it to be always on so I could charge things when stopped. 20 bucks or so, IIRC.

I usually use a powerlet to SAE to USB...

I found what I put on my bike. Here is the link to the amazon listing:

Although there are many ways to do what you desire, I'll give you some food for thought. No holes have to be made in any body work. If you have a windshield or handlebar bag, you can use it while in motion to charge something, as well as when you are parked. Anyway, it has worked well for me and I didn't need to drill any holes in anything, making it very easy to undo.

Doesn't the 1400 have a cigar outlet like my Vintage? If so, a USB adapter is easily plugged into it.

Rather than hack your bike wiring, or risk running down your starting battery, how about this $30 PowerBank from Amazon:

I have one being delivered today.   FOUR HOURS LATER, UPDATE:
GOODs: Unit is sturdy and the flashlight feature could come in handy on the road.
  BADs: Unit is larger and heavier than any phone: 3.25" Wide, x 6.75" Long x 0.75" Thick.
            "Carbon Fiber" cover is hard and slick, making it very hard to hold on to.

SPECS:
1.Portable USB charger with huge capacity:24000 mAh -your cellphone will have power for days.
2.Charge three devices (Phone, Tablet, GPS) at the same time.
3.Digital remaining-charge display. Power Bank recharges overnight from AC.
4.Dual flashlights. Portable safety and enduring talk power. Never be in darkness or out of touch, ever.

5.Warranty:2 years.

I ended up buying an adapter that attaches to the pigtail for my battery charger. About $10 & no drilling or installation issues. It works great.
