I'm with ya VTBeemer
Spent Memorial weekend installing P3 Brake Lights, an IQ-170 Lighting Controller, BlingLights LED driving lights, two 6 LED strips low on the inside front fender and an AutoSwitch AS7 to kill the lights if needed. I drained down the battery during the install by 2 days of turning on/off the ignition without starting the 08 RT1200. At some point I switched on the Grip Heaters and the bike wouldn't start for the test ride. Soooo I plugged in my trusty trickle charger to the front PowerLet Socket. Of course the AutoSwitch LED lit up, telling me it was being powered up by the battery charger. It was flashing from quick pulses to steady red about every minute, obviously it didn't like the charger!
I cut the quick disconnect off the $25 PowerLet adapter and engineered my own Charging Pigtail. I found a existing 1/4 hole in the Fairing Mount and slid my Heat Shrink Covered charging wire through the hole and connected to the battery. I left the cable room to slide in and out a inch or two for use. It slides back in and tucks under the Passenger Seat where the Seat Heater Switch is mounted. Works Great!
