I have the exact same USB socket but mounted it inside the frunk. This socket is absolutely not suitable for mounting outside. That cap is absolutely not waterproof. Despite the negative comment, I just love your videos!

Hi I've installed similar one but with built in voltmeter. Which will be replaced with 1xUSBC + 1xUSBA I've bought. I've installed it inside the trunk directly into battery cover. It is connected to the relay and fuse. There I have also switch for spot lights and one 12V socket for the compressor. Have a good ride.

So funny, when I saw you sitting there in the tee, shorts and flip flops, I said he dresses like I do when I am doing maintenance on the bike. I call it my Jimmy Buffet tropical work attire. My dog, cat and parrot usually hang out keeping me company and making sure I don't get too stressed out. The ole NC looks beautiful even though it will soon be 20 years old. What can you say, it's a Honda...

Good job mate. I fitted a dual rectangular one off ebay, directly below the lcd screen. The dual USB I use for satnav & phone, the 12v aux is connected directly (fused) to the battery. I use it for inflator or conveniently connecting my optimiser in winter. Very useful arrangement.

Nice vid as usual. But there are two things I would like to comment on. First, removed the 12-volt socket and replace it with a direct USB port. This is means in the future you will not be able to connect a portable air blower for the tires , unless you have a blower with a built-in battery, or a blower that works via a direct USB port. The other thing is, it was possible not to install the on and off socket, and just disconnecting the blue light wire from inside the USB port, and in case it cannot be opened, you can only break the blue light, which is useless any way . Thanks for the video

My usb had a switch on it seems like thats WAY easier than wiring a secondary thing in. Less connections less risks of one having a problem . Mine only has one USB though and a volt meter sense my bike doesn't have a volt meter comes in handy. To each there own good job though bud.

I fitted a USB oulet inside the glove box but found that it draws about 4mA even when not in use, so the battery went flat while not in use for the winter months (yeah I was being a wimp). So I simply extended the wiring out through the service panel and used bullet connectors so I could connect /disconnect at will and Included the negative side of the battery using a spade connector. My battery charger/s has the same arrangment, so I can use the outlet when needed and charge the battery if needed without having to access the battery.

Hiya mate, Thank you for a perfectly produced video, I love to see you at work. You're like me if there is any way I can buy the wrong part I will and I usually do, like your switch, at least you tested it before fitting it, I usually don't find out till the jobs finished. Nice to see you and take care. Oh by the way I loved your safety wear.

Not seeing a video I guess you are fortunate enough not to need to with your weather. My bike was used daily before I bought it so find a lot of corrosion coming through, cheers

A solid state relay may be a better option over the switch that way you can't forget to turn if off. You just need to tap off a circuit that is only live with ignition as a switching signal

Nice video (as always).. I also fitted a USB socket to my NC in the same place as you fitted your switch in the frunck. However also worried about power drain I fitted a relay so the USB would only come on when I switched the bike on. It’s pretty fail safe so let me know if you want any details. Cheers!

Lol I was wondering when you chose your spot, did it have clearance, and would it be better up high considering cargo, if that might accidentally turn it on. Good job anyway. I haven't fitted my own, yet I've had it for 2yrs waiting to install lol.

Why did you install the socket outside? I installed it inside luggage box, it's much more safer from water. You can charge devices inside luggage box, and if you need to charge your phone in holder, you can throw cabel through rubber outside. Also it's older version of charge, not enough to charge modern phone. Better use power socket with QC 3.0, or even PD.
