Auxiliary power to dash area

[Grumpy Goat]

Has anyone added an auxiliary power plug to their RS that could be used to charge items in a tank bag? I installed a marine usb unit on the dash of my KTM 1090, but that was a doddle because KTM thoughtfully provided a couple of low amp leads off the wiring loom at the front of the bike. I haven’t looked yet, but guessing that is not the case with the RS? I could tap into the headlight wires for switched power, but I generally try to avoid those kinds of hacks for fear of unnerving the canbus.

Years ago I installed one of these Powerlet cigarette sockets in my dash and it has worked perfectly ever since. It is not cheap but the quality is excellent. If you want something that will last the life of the bike you will have to pay for it, and since I drilled the hole in my dash I don't want the component to fail. I use a 2 x USB adapter that lives inside the cigarette socket - that way I have both types of connection possible. It is wired directly to my battery so no messing with the CAN-Bus network, and while it is not switched, there is no draw if there is nothing plugged in.
