Been a qualified electronic dude I can build a few things. I had a plan in vision of a devise that can supply multiple devices with power on the GSA, but it must prevent the battery from running flat when the bike is not in use. So the circuit formed in my head and I put it to paper and started to build the physical circuit. It has a trigger wire that can be connected to the CAMBUS or to the head or tail light. Once the trigger is activated it extends the power to a row of connectors where they could be picked up. So now I can have GPS, iPod charger, Communication system, and 2 sockets for wheel pump other devices that can work in the switched mode.

I build similar gadgets for both my RT and GSA. Works like a charm. I wired it to the auxiliary plug to get it to be switchable.
This is something that I think is a must on any bike with CAMBUS wiring.

There are two fuses one is inline with the trigger (not in the pic) and the other is between the battery and the accessories pins (this is the fuse box that you see on the pic)

As I always ask my clients "Do you want it to work or do you want it electrical"

Twisted Evil

That is why I prefer my old 1150 technology. No busses, fusses, triggers and circiuts required. You just plug it in.

Glad to see there are some "lead sniffers" in the club that can sort out the electrical problems cheers
