Power supply under seat 2nd gen

[rickardracing]

I have not yet looked for it, but supposedly there is an unused power cord under the seat on the 2nd gens. Does anyone know what the max milliamp rating this cord puts out?

Stock is a Sumitomo 2 position 0.090 waterproof MT connector, fused at 5 A.

 

5A = 5000 milliamps.

 

V7Goose posted a way to use this connector -- basically removing the plugs from the end and shoving wires through. I have done this on mine and it works great. Others snip the end off and wire up whatever end they wanted on it...

I was thinking of using this to power my Satellite radio through a usb connector. It says 500 ma max. My gps is plugged into the plug on the fairing and I need another one. Usb is a low profile. But I guess the power supply for the radio reduces the ma rating?

Pins and connectors for this plug are available from Eastern Beaver.

I used it with a relay for an aux power on back for the boss's phone charger.

I would just cut the connector off and run wire to a differant connector.
