Trackside USB Outlet

I use the USB plug in about twice a week on my KLR650. It's my commuter and does off-road duty. I'm hard on the bike and the vibrations from the big single is tough on anything attached to the bike. It's dropped off road now and again and still the USB plug-in works great for charging my phone, IPad, and backup battery for the phone.

I'm guessing others are getting the lemons as this thing has yet to miss a beat.

Good luck!

PROS: Full Setup Included, Many Attachment Options, Rugged Cover

BEST USES: Charging Bluetooth Helmet, Charging Anything Via Usb, Charging phone, Commuting

I love Cycle Gear but this particular product is a joke. I bought two and neither one worked. I think the average consumer is willing to pay a bit more for something that will work.
Dont waste your time or money on this one.

Picked this up for my 99' CBR1100xx to use with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4). Wish the power cable was about 8 inches longer but I was able to make it work. The compact size and built in mounting ears made it very easy to mount inside my fairing. Connected it to the battery using the supplied ring terminals, tested the quick connect using a multimeter and had 13.2 volts..great. Plugged in the USB port, plugged in my phone...and NOTHING. Double checked the power cable again and found 13.2 volts at the quick connect...but nothing at the USB port. Checked my cable using my home charger. It worked fine. So I tried the cable from my car...again...nothing. So I plugged in my battery tender to the quick connect...it registered the battery being plugged in. The USB port is dead. Made the 30 mile drive back to Cycle Gear..they pulled another one off the shelf...and the SAME result...it wont charge..even using one of the employees cables. Got a refund...went and bought a Battery Tender USB charger at another store and plugged it in using the same battery cable (the employee told me to keep it rather than take apart my bike in front of the store..nice of him)...and the Battery Tender USB charger immediately started charging my phone using the same USB cable. This charger comes packaged well...has a great design..just DOESN'T WORK. Cycle Gear needs better quality control on their items. I wasted 2 days of my time, and 60 miles of gas buying and returning this thing.

Picked this up today from CG, put it on, t
plugged phone in and nothing happened. Checked the fuse, even used a multimeter, cord gets power from the battery, but the usb port gets less than 1volt. Returning in the morning. Very dissatisfied.

I installed this yesterday (klx250s) and tested it. My phone said it was charging but I quickly discovered it was draining the phone battery rather then charging it. I tested it this morning to find it is only giving 4.7 volts rather than the 5.3 needed to charge a phone. Will be returning it and buying something better.

Love the completeness of the product such that connectors are all already there and there is ample amount of wire (too much even in fact). Nothing beats the quick connector!
