Quick Q about a BMW 800GS
Does it come with an SAE power connector from the battery? I'd like to be able to charge devices during the big Oz trip (in 2 weeks!! Anyone know Perth well?)
Thanks and feel free to offer up any tips for a 4000 mi tour across Australia. Yes, I know I'll need lots of water, butt cream, and bug spray...

I'm sure it comes with the BMW powerlet outlet. You can buy adapters for that at cyclegadgets.com. I hardwire some stuff on mine as long as it has an inline fuse.

The little GS I rented in Austria had one by the ignition switch, I don't remember if it took that type of connector or the round one. It was only rated for 5 amps and my Gerbings jacket pulled more than that. I hardwired to the battery.

Great, thanks.
I have the SAE connector-to-cigarette lighter adaptor I'm planning on using. J

You won't be able to run an electric vest through the electrical buss system. You must hard-wire (w/fuse), as per your picture.

there's also a female plug connector under the center "gas tank" panel for which BMW sells a male connector/length of wiring to attach accessories. This leaves the power outlet adjacent to the ingition switch available for secondary items.
