Ok so this summer I decided to camp. Get on the bike and just ride where ever, pitch my little tent and get back to nature. Was planning to go this weekend sooo.....

Got myself a tent, blow up bed and thought i was cool buying and electrical lighter output air pump. How cool I thought to have my bike do all the hard work for me.

Got the thing home feeling very pleased withmyself but the triumph sprint electric socket is to small. It doesnt fit the usual car lighter adaptions :(

So at the moment im not happy

My question is:
Is there any adaption can be put in the bike to make it like a car lighter size or anything else I can do. If so where and how much before the weekend or my big solo camping trips are not looking so good........

cheers

Ah yes

Easy to deal with, I made up a simple small to large adaptor with a bit of cable between them

You can buy the European Plug (thats the bit that goes into the bike) and a Socket (that's the bit that you plug your pump into).

Get someone to put a bit of wire between them and you have an "adaptor". No destruction of Trumpy electrics required.

Have done a couple of these (riding a Beemer means required skills)

Costs about $20 or so. I can make one up for you if you PM me

Cheers

Would that be the adapter? Or is that going the other way *Finds Jaycar descriptions horrible* At any rate they appear to stock all the parts xgnr refers to

No worries... its a simple job.

Let me know if you want me to put one together for you. $20 or so is for the parts... SuperCheap Auto or Repco have the bits.
