    Power outlet

    It takes the same 1 as other goldwings! You can buy one for 16.95 on EBay goes in the left glove box easy to install.

    Cool

    I would suggest the cigarette lighter type and buy a USB that plugs into the lighter ...

    Beagle, That is true...however on my recent trip, after buying a USB for my GPS...come to find out Garmin requires a USB cable with something in the line so the GPS knows it is hooked to power instead of a computer....I have both types of plug ins. now...but if you buy the cigarette type and USB plug that goes into a cigarette light style plug is only $5....

    Bottom line what ever accessories your are going to run make sure you have the plug to run YOUR accessories...

    I have the lighter with the double USB adapter. Why limit your options, especially on something that cheap. I've gone on trips already where I've forgotten my phone charger. I can get a lighter charger at a gas station. In fact, the one I bought on the last trip is now my F6B charger. I can't always get a USB charger cable.

    The funny part is I tried to order the MP3 double USB, but they were back ordered, so I bought the cheaper lighter plug and USB adapter instead, and I'm very glad it worked out that way.

    Pedro (Pete),

    I clicked on your link and it says that you are out of stock. Any idea when the front usb double charger will be available?
