Default 12v accessory plug relocation

Well as some of you know, a year or so ago I installed a 12 v plug on the bike for whatever I needed it for, but now in thinking about my trip to Canada, and the smaller tank bag I picked up, the location was causing the cell phone plug to hit the tank bag. So here are the before pics and then a couple of relocation and new bracket pictures. Now I can have the charger through the cables and down out of the way and now the tank bag is free from hitting anything.

I used a CB antenna bracket cut down a drilled to 30mm. Worked perfect.

Deej,

I thought about getting a Black Berry, but when I found out what they cost I changed my mind. I got one of the el cheapo versions called a Dingle Berry... It ain't worth a Crap!

Deej, where on the bike did you grab the 12 volts from?

Nice mod, I think a bunch of us will follow suit.

I ran a new fused wire all the way to the battery. I didn't want it on a key switch.

Well for the last 5 years the University has provided for me a few blackberry phones, at no cost to me. The latest one is the 8703e. Its great, but I think come September we are all heading toward a new Verizon model BB. It's great to get all my home and work e-mails sent to it, plus my outlook calendar and internet. But the main reason I love mine is its free. Oh and did I mention that its free?
