12 Volt Power Port for motorcycle GPS and other electronics
Did you receive a GPS, Satellite Radio, or other neat gadget for your motorcycle as a Christmas or Hanukkah present? Does it plug in using one of those cigarette lighter style plugs you find in cars, trucks, most touring bikes and some scooters? What if you’re like me and don’t have one of these handy dandy electrical outlets on your motorcycle?
SOLUTION: I have partnered with local biker Ray Bowers to bring you a solution! Ray has contracted an American electronics manufacturer to make 12 volt cigarette lighter adapters for motorcycles! These high quality American made 12 volt power ports have a cigarette lighter style outlet at one end and an SAE 2-pin connector at the other. They are connected by 11 inches of 18 gauge wire with an overall length of 15.75 inches. This device can power a dead cell phone, recharge your phone while you ride and/or power small electronic devices like GPS systems.
Most of us in the northeast have a battery tender pigtail permanently attached to our motorcycle battery. This is the quick connect cable that you attach to your battery tender in the off season. It has an SAE 2-pin connector. The 12 volt power port connects to this pigtail via the SAE 2-pin connector and provides you with an electrical outlet to power your cell phone, GPS or other electronic equipment right on your motorcycle. You will never be stranded with a dead cell phone if you purchase this 12 volt power port. I can’t guarantee you a signal, but a dead cell phone battery is one less thing you have to worry about! And, if you have a GPS you will never get lost again!
Order your 12 Volt Power Port now for $9.95 plus shipping and never worry about being stranded with a dead cell phone! Click here to go to the www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com online store to purchase this unique motorcycle accessory. It’s a life saver! Get it now while supplies last.
We also offer the Deltran Battery Tender Quick Connect cable known as a “pigtail” (sold separately).
That’s pretty cool! I don’t know if we have a pigtail or not. I think we should get one of these for our upcoming trip to Yuma.
Pretty useful device from what I see.
Does it have a voltage regulator in cas of power surge?
or is it just a connector outlet
That is Sweet!!! I gave up my StreetGlide for a CrossBones and the cig lighter is one thing I miss for running a GPS. Thanks!!!
Useful gadget for sure. I have a pigtail on my geezer glide but as far as I am concerned every bike should have one of these things.
NO ONE SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE. Let me say it again….NO BIKE SHOULD BE WITHOUT ONE!
Cell phones, GPS, AIR PUMPS for flat tires and BLOW UP DOLLS!
Baron, the Deltran pigtails have a fuse in them. I believe most of them are 7.5 amps but some may be 3 amp.
Dave, we can always count on you for a unique perspective. Does your blow up doll wear a helmet when she rides passenger?

Thanks Jay. I think the fuse will work out fine.

Can you recommend a quality handlebar gps mount for a Garmin 760?
Thanks
I’m sorry, I have no reccomendation or experience with GPS and GPS mounts on motorcycles. Hopefully someone will see this and leave a comment. However we do have experience with a camera mount made of plastic and it broke and went bye bye on the highway along with the camera.
Get a RAM Mount branded unit. Go to their website (ram-mount.com) and it will go down to the nth detail on which unit you have. I bought an iPod Touch (1G) RAM mount and a GMS Garmin Nuvi 200 RAM mount for my Royal Star 4Cyl beast and the mounts fit the electronics as tight as you want it so no vibration. You still need power though. You can always get the “powerlet” system that will hardwrire from your battery to a handlebar ooupling.
