After riding for 10 hours last Tuesday, I quickly realized that I couldn't use my phone as a GPS all day. My phone is mounted on a Quad Lock with the anti-vibration module, I love those mounts, they are rock solid and well made.
I could have tried to attach a power bank to the front end or recharge when stopping for gas or food, but that is not practical.
So I decided to add the wireless charging module from Quad Lock. The total cost in phone mounting solution on my Max is quite high, but I am happy with it. It's a great system.
I wanted to connect the charger to a 12v source that is controlled by the ignition key.
After looking at the wiring diagram and the fuse box, I found that my best option was to tap myself onto the fuse box 12v bus that is fed by the ignition switch (brown wire).
I soldered a wire with an inline fuse(3A) holder to the fuse box bus:
For the ground, I used a ring terminal to one of the faux tank cover release mechanism bolt.
I made sure the wiring was routed cleanly and securely along the left upper tube of the frame and placed the fuse added fuse holder between the stock one and the air box.
A few zip-ties to secure the wires and voilà!
Cant wait to listen to my music while riding with GPS on all day and more!!!
Cheers!
