How to connect 12v accessory socket?

If you're just using it to charge stuff, just wire the socket direct to the rear light, so it's only live when the lights are on.

Check out Bibio's gizmo. It's really the easiest way to fit something electrical to your bike and has the benefit of not leaving you stuck in the middle of no-where when you leave what ever it is plugged in and draining your battery. Also means you don't have to cut / splice into any of the cables and comes off again with just a spanner.

i agree about my Gizmo (but i would) another thing about the Gizmo and satnavs, when you turn the ignition off most sat navs when plugged in will use 'car mode' which means that it will auto shut down and auto start again when you start the bike.

but as puny said the only problem is that you cant chuck your phone under the seat and charge it overnight when your camping.

I read about your Gizmo, Bibio, but as I understand it you have to wait to order in batches?

He has some made up at the moment unless 20 have gone since I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago.

i have stock at the moment as i have just lately made a batch of 40 of which almost half were sold instantly. so yes i have about 20 in stock.

Is that just for an SV or does it work on any bike?

[Bibio]

its now fully universal, unlike the SV only version to fit another bike you will have to tap into a side/tail light or brake switch with the supplied blue connector. once the blue connector is in place it will be there permanently but you can remove the gizmo at any point and all that will be left is the blue connector ready for someone else to use as its a '6.3mm T Tap' unlike the older scotchlock which you had to remove or cut the trailing wire. the T Tap is self insulated so can be left without causing any fear of damage.
