Hey Bumpkin. I can confirm the original rubber grommets are in place, the PUIG screen is just slightly the wrong shape. I gave up trying to fix my Landie today and needed a small win to make me feel better, so decided to have a better look at the dodgy Sat Nav power feed added to this bike by a previous owner. I stripped the old one out and used the proper White power feed plug under the plastics by the headstock. The original blanking plug was in it with about an inch of wire attached, so I used that instead of buying a new connector. The guy I brought the bike off said the old power supply had been done by a previous owner. The cable had been taken the whole length of the bike and I thought spliced into the power supply to the double USB power socket in the tool tray under the Pillion pad, but I wasn't sure what I'd find underneath the insulation tape, or what damage I'd have to put right: I need not have worried about what damage had been done to the original wiring loom as under the tape I found a huge bodge: The bared ends of the Sat Nav power cable had just been jammed in the connector(Excuse the image): What a bodge
Also found this by the Battery/Diag connector. Is this a ready to go power supply for the rear of the bike?
My Landie is still out of action, so I've been using this bike as my only form of transport for the last week. Commuting to work with all my gear and a change of clothes. Going to the Gym. picking up parts for the Landie. Etc Really been enjoying using it like that, and I've certainly got more used to it. But am hoping I don't have to use it through the wetter weather arriving next week. .
This bike came to me not only with the Aluminium Paniers and Topbox, but also the Ducati/Givi Tank bag that fits to a filler ring: The fact that it's set up with a power point and leads that plug into the socket in the dash is useful because you can charge your phone in there as you ride: But I really don't like the shape and look of it: I don't think it suits the bike at all, it's quite large and sit's on top of the tank like a partially deflated football. The texture also looks a bit odd as it doesn't match anything else on the bike or the style of the Aluminium Paniers. I had a quick look on Ebay and found this GIVI magnetic bag really cheap but in almost new condition. There appear to be lots of unbranded knock-offs of this bag available too: Now I know you are all thinking Nasher has lost the plot because his tank is Plastic, but I had a plan. .
I knocked up a couple of Aluminium plates to sandwich the GIVI Bags magnetic 'Wings': Then took the locking ring off the bottom of the old bag and added it to the new bag: I know it's smaller, bit I think it suits the bike far better than the original: I even moved the charging point over from the other bag: I'm happy, I'm sure others will disagree.
That's all that matters If you don't already have one of these then it's worth considering over the straight Hella DIN plug. The top edge of the angled plug neatly 'hooks' under the lip around the edge of the spring-loaded flip up cover for the socket on your dash. This helps to secure it in place.
