2019 RT: Tapping Powerlet Module on Right Side Fairing for Accessory Power with Posi-Taps

[masupert]

Has anyone tapped electrical off of the powerlet outlet behind the brake side front fairing? I'm looking to tap a quadlock charging head off this line and mount it to the top of the fairing just above the powerlet port. Im thinking of tapping the line behind the fairing utilizing a posi-tap connection, but want to find out if it may cause any Canbus flags.

I plan to keep the powerlet port in place and the accessory DIN is already occupied by the factory fog lamps.

Personally I'd wire the quad lock strait from the battery with a fuse..
This avoids cutting into the OEM wiring and the misery that will rear its ugly head later... YMMV JMHO...

It will run the battery dead even when not charging a phone as it always draws some current. Best way to do it would be with a ezcan or similar device. Again not cutting into the harness.

My wireless charger has a quick disconnect so it doesn't run down the battery, but an ezcan would be a good way to go. I don't have one myself btw..

I have a 2021 RT. I am preparing to install a Quad Lock charger and powering it by tapping into the accessory outlet on the right side of the fairing. Seemed like a safe place to get switched power and (probably) won't upset the CANBUS.

Probably will overload that circuit. Those wireless chargers pull a fair amount of current. You are better off using a Ezcan or similar to get it true switched power on its own circuit.

I have a radar detector, zumo xt and quadlock wireless charger tapped into that, no issues.

A cheaper way to go then the EZcan is https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/tb/ . Like Shawn I'm using the EZcan to power my Zumo XT2, Phone, Radar and heated gear.

An $8 automotive relay switched by the accessory outlet and wired directly to the battery is all you need.

Consider something like "Fuzeblocks FZ-1 power distribution block". 6 circuits and a built in relay and trigger wire (tap into the rear accessory outlet, for example) . Circuits can be switched (on when bike is on), or unswitched (on all the time).

Really need an in line fuse as well.

I didn't think it was necessary to get into the minutia of the installation.
