Can someone confirm that the positive feed on a cigarette/in car charger goes to the centre of the module.

I've got all the bits to put one on my bike so that I can charge my gizzmos as I go.

I know, I know, you shouldn't put one on a sports bike, but I do use mine for all purposes all year around so I need to have a form of charging my TomTom, Phone, iPod, boil the kettle, run the Playstation etc etc etc.


Cheers in advance for the advice.

Aye, I'm sure that the 'sensible' bikes have them but what about kids on scoots with Ipods/phones etc and it wouldn't be a huge job to throw one on a sports bike so you can travel and still charge your phone, ipod etc (if camping your stuffed really)

Aye, I'm sure that the 'sensible' bikes have them

like an 06/07 ZX10R for example?

Wow, didn't expect that it would be a good idea as well.

Thanks guys, have got a multimeter, so will go into the garage and have a bodge.

I'm doing a bit of camping next weekend and even though I'll have access to the mains electricity I'd rather have the phone charging under the seat locked away than leave it in a garage for an hour and the bonus is that the smae Nokia charger is used for the GPS device as well so I only need to carry one charger for the 2 items 

I might strip a USB cable fro work down and adapt that to fit the charger as well so I can then charge my iPod with the supplied USB cable that comes with it.

good luck Majic let us know how you get on  may do summit myself maybe doctor my optimate cable link so its removeable 

[MajicKwak]

Ok, I'll take some pics and show what I've done.

I know, it was supposed to be a joke about BMW  ''''bikes''''



Maybe not so funny -I am just on a high with the TEN at the mo and BMWs are SO far from the spirit of the big K as to be almost NOT motorbikes at all


Ill finish my wine instead.

Nowt wrong with a 1200GS, it can surprise many a 10 down a B-road or twisty A
