R1200R - accessory socket battery shunt

[FredRydr]

Who makes the "plug & play" wire that plugs into the back of the accessory plug and goes to the battery?

Thanks.

Bump.

Come on! There must be a hundred posts on this forum by riders claiming to have done this!

Powerlet.

Except... the quick connector is different on the '07 bikes, and doesn't match the Powerlet connector.

Thanks, Darryl! Looks like they have what I need, and I will confirm before I order. I knew it was some aftermarket manufacturer, but I am surprised it was Powerlet.

I bet you are plugging heated clothing into that? Good idea, I have a plug hanging out under the seat now for heated clothing. I may order this plug for my bike and do away w/ the hanger one.

Have you installed a CAN-BUS helper yet? I installed the Touratech one and now have heated clothing, gps, and hyper-lites running on that one relay.

I bet you are plugging heated clothing into that?No, I have a heattroller in the left matt black side panel with a dedicated coaxial Gerbing plug hanging off the frame. I copied Don's set-up; if you click on his link you can see photos.

I want to make sure the CANbus system doesn't shut down an otherwise reasonable use of the accessory socket somewhere down the road (e.g., a passenger's heated jacket or an air compressor).

Interesting that the Roadster's socket is hot when the ignition is off, while the RT's socket is not.
