Anyone have any preferences for cell phone chargers. Good/bad experiences? I have a smart phone that drains and my Kat is my main transpo. Any help again is much appreciated! Thanks!

Seen a lot of guys with stuff hooked up to the battery with an inline fuse to a car lighter style outlet. I'd be surprised if there wasn't something like that sold specifically for bikes(google). I haven't really looked into it yet but by the time I head for Laguna this summer I'll have something hooked up.95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Not sure why the Amizon thumbnail thingy is there.I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

The one I use I got at an Advanced Auto Parts, like $10.00. I would have sent you the page but I can't find it online. It's a power port, sealed on the back, and has a nice rubber cap.http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=110816

Does it have an inline fuse?Originally posted by bob393 View Post95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

I would look into why the phone is draining the battery so quickly.
My phone, a droid incredible, went from 100% to 40% in just 4 hours when I wasn't even using it because of all the stuff verizon had running in the background. I rooted it, removed the bloatware and installed a new ROM (all on the second day I had the phone) and it will stay with a charge for 2 days with normal usage.

There are alot of cases available for smartphones with built in auxiliary batteries. I know iPhone 3GS's have one available that will double their battery life.
Something to look into.____________

my sig lighter socket is on small aligator clips and sits under the seat.
I can set my phone or GPS or camp light on charge under the seat and it will be safe and dry no matter where I am.

Inline fuse? I want to put one together but curious if I need to worry about this...Originally posted by hardlydangerous View Post95 GSX600F -- GO DUCKS -- 06 R6Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

I used an outdoor cig lighter under the seat with an inline fuse. Charges the iPhone, GPS or my XM radio. One at a time. Works like a charm and no issues with the battery going dead. On a side note though I had to replace my battery this fall, but it did last 6 years.
