    Because I wanted to be able to charge two devices, and did not want to hard-wire them I decided to put a dual USB charger in.

    Drilled a hole in the flyscreen.

    Connected to switched wire in headlight assembly.

    Hi Vulpes
    I'm thinking about putting one on mine, but I'm worried about the waterproof quality.

    Hi David, bit early to say - it has a cover for when not in use. Try to find a spot which is not susceptible to exposure.

    Looks good.

    Quick story;
    Manx GP 2017 I suggested to my mate it would be a good idea to put a usb on the handlebars for the phone's with being away for an extended period taking pics and vids. Mate said that's a good idea. We both fitted one but I didn't get round to using mine until there. Guess what, mine was faulty and wouldn't charge despite lighting up.
    He still takes the piss as I was beholden to him for the week :rolleyes:

    To add insult to injury I had bought a few different shaped items to see which fitted best...... and..... Yes you've guessed it, gave the others to him!!! :joy:

    I don't quite get why Triumph has put the usb under the seat on the 765. What you supposed to do, put your phone under there to charge it?
    I think a port on the handlebars is better especially if you have a tank bag fitted.

    On my Honda I put a usb socket under the back seat and it worked well with my phone in jacket pocket until a day or so later calling for petrol forgot the lead and ragged the end off. It was damned inconvenient as I was away for a week but at least the lead suffered and not the phone port.
