    Has anyone run a USB cable from the charge point under the seat up to the handle bars? Did you find a weather resistant cable or was that a concern? Did you modify the box under the seat to prevent pinching of the cable when shutting the lid? I was thinking about running one up to my where I have my phone mounted to keep it charged on longer rides (when we're allowed to go out again anyway).

    I ran a long iPhone cable up to my handle bars on my speed twin. Just went under the fuel tank and then a few cable ties to keep it neat. Not had any problems so far running it in rain and washing the bike touch wood !
