Works great, with a very minor fix, or two.
| I installed this in the trunk, following the simple instructions. I was a little nervous cutting the hole just based on the single photo - no real measurements to go by, and more than one way to interfere with bosses in the upper trunk lid. Based on complaints of it pulling out, I bought a cheap step drill and tried a 1-1/16" hole first, but it definitely won't go into that, even when you cut a small square slot for the anti-rotating "key" on the barrel of the power plug. So I cut a 1-1/8" hole and inserted the plug. Sure enough, it pulled out much too easily. But then I snaked two zip ties through the weak "holding tabs" on the back side of the plug and cinched them tight. It can't be pulled out now, it's like it's cemented in, but it's completely reversible. I also wrapped the open back of the plug with silicone electrical tape to keep moisture and dust out of it - it's not a sealed environment back there based on all the dust I found. Lastly, I opened up the 12V splitter I bought and snipped off the LED so it won't drain my battery if I leave it plugged in. Overall a great addition to the bike with those few little (practically free) mods. |

Easy Instal
| Easy and straight forward instructions.... Worked great in the trunk lid for me.... After the install pry the locking tabs outward a little so it doesn't pull out and locks in place..... No issues. |

GL 1800 Universal Power Plugs
| I have purchased many innovative and useful products from Electrical Connection through the years; this is not one of them. These are junk. Save yourself some grief and purchase marine or automotive models with threaded backs. Otherwise, even carefully using a 1 1/8 hole saw, you will need to use PVC cement to keep them in place. I purchased both the fairing and trunk plugs. The one plus is that they provide plug and play connectivity. |

Junk
| Save your money. Go to a car parts store and get one with a large nut on the back. I drilled the hole EXACTLY 1 1/8" and this stupid thing pulls out of the hole each time I remove the charger. Garbage! |

Custom install in fairing pocket on 2012 GL1800
|
I just installed this on the my 2012 GL1800. One of the reviewers said that it interferes with the heat vent mechanism. It does not if you install it as instructed. You must drill the hole on the small upper right side of the fairing pocket where the X indicates to drill. I drilled the hole slightly smaller than the recommended size, then carefully pushed and turned the power plug through the hole. This effectively created a threaded hole on the fairing into which the power plug is secured. I also used the included rear nut for extra support, but it is not really necessary with the tight fit I have. As mentioned by other reviewers this has an inline 3 amp fuse. Check the accessories you are planning on running off of this plug. I am running a 1.85 amp air pump and a Garmin navi - so no problems blowing my fuse. |

Easy install for trunk plug
| I have a 2012 Goldwing, which has a power cable with a blue end in the trunk. The blue cable gets power when the bike is turned on and not continuously like the red-end cable. I taped the plug to the back of the trunk liner to help find a good location, which was tricky due to the shape of the trunk and location of the trunk lock controller. A 1-1/8 " hole saw worked perfectly. |

Bought the trunk power plug and installed it. Product is ok and quality is good. Only drama when installing was my hole-saw wobbled and the hold cut too big - but I fixed it by cutting the grips on the side of the socket and expanded them once I pushed the connector into the hole and then applied silicone. (at least it's in the trunk lid and not for all to see). Take my advice, drill out a piece of old plastic or very thin timber and test the connector fit before you drill your expensive plastic. Good luck and a wise investment. PS - remember, the outlet is always HOT - even with the ignition off...so mind you don't kill your battery.. |
