Power in the tail

May be commong knowledge , but i have the need to supply power the the tailbag i use , and rather than running it all the way from the front , I found you can use the diagnostic port.

The optimate O47 cable , made to be used by trickle charger , can also be used as a power source !

this gives you an SAE plus in the tail of the bike, which you can use for all types, usb etc etc ,


plugged into diag port under rider seat and fe3d up through holes near grab handle strap to hold under pillion seat .

If I'm not mistaken, that is a full time power line. I would ensure you unplug it when you shut the bike down for extended periods so as not to drain the battery.

That's right it is not switched (as it is also used for trickle charging)

If you don't want to send $55 USD on it from Moto Tech, its $30 USD on Amazon.

That’s a good solution. I need a splitter.
Has anyone tried driving around with T800 attached and connected to “phone”
I need a harness that plugs in Duc CAN and delivers Duc CAN and that battery tender lead on the other side.
If USBC can deliver serious power then that Duc CAN should be able to power quite a few things off that plug.

what I really need is a switch that turns off tail & brake lights, and some black out fairings, maybe matte CF like the expert

lots of SAE splitter options, but i would think the Can is bi directional so probably cant split the data lines , just power. I'd wire up my own cables from some Ducati plugs.

If you need the CAN line and want a SAE line as well, just run an SAE lead from the battery. I have one that comes out from under the "battery fairing/upper tank protector" to power my cell phone.

Can’t you just get one of these double fuse blade sockets and job is done. Just fits into the accessories fuse holder. I know it’s in Australia but sure you can buy it anywhere. I used this to give me supply for my wireless phone charger
