| Charge devices on your bike for under $5
Hello everyone,
Here is my how-to on making your bike capable of charging your devices for under $5 a.k.a Phones, GPS, i-Products. ect..
Here is what I started off with but as you can see I bought a Y-connector $2.99 (From Princess Auto) and if you already have connectors you are set. I went a little over kill because I thought I would have to solder and use shrink wrap but that was not the case.
Extra: Feel free to add a in-line fuse if you like to. 
Bike:GZ250 and CBR600rr
----- 
This is my random shopping list, some random stuff I did not have on me so I had to purchase some new supplies for the garage. I would expect the bike lovers here to have some tools. 
----- 
Here we go, SNIP!
----- 
Press my connectors.
----- 
All connected!
----- 
It lives !

Slide it out a little bit so you don't drain your battery.

On the CBR.

Thread through the fairing and waa-laa!

THANKS FOR VIEWING !

I was gonna hate, but that's pretty good. Did you think about running it through a fuse though?

I did think that when I was at Princess auto BUT, I thought "Hey if it's going to fail, the usb adapter is just going to fail." I would assume (Not sure actually) it has like a small fuse inside the adapter it self.
EDIT: A quick google search that some adapters do have fuses, no biggie !
EDIT2: No guarantees if there are fuses in the power adapter for GPS though.

I can appreciate the DIY aspect, I like doing things myself as well when I'm able. Saying that, I was going to buy one of these, it plugs right into the wires for the battery tender, I was thinking of having it come up near the front of my bike, get a RAM mount so I can plug my camera, phone or gps into it if desired. Amazon.com: Battery Tender 081-0158 Black Quick Disconnect Plug with USB Charger: Automotive

im planning to do this on my r6 and instead of hooking it to the battery, gonna splice it with the taillights wires. So when I turn off the bike, it would turn off too.

GREAT IDEAS FROM EVERYONE THOUGH, It definitely helps anyone else who is interested in cheap modifications like these.
