GPS power cable?

Spot on thumper ,that is exactly what I will do as soon as I get a fuse.....

Wired up the Husky this afternoon, all good. Just make sure that when you turn off the bike or turn on the bike the GPS should still stay powered up with battery if you have them inside. This helps heaps, because the GPS will not require re-booting, just switched over to alternative supply

Heard back from Tony at KiwiGPS, he is a good guy and I still recommend him to anyone....

Just got back from Tony at KiwiGPS - he is more helpful than a really helpful bloke in Helpsville on the 15th May (that is the day they have their annual "who is the most helpful bloke" competition)!

Anyway got a cable - as for in line 1 Amp fuse - I reckon I might run it off the heated grips - existing 5 Amp in line fuse, already "switched" to my ignition - they reckon they run a max of 4 Amp, and I never run at 100% so by my maths.........
While I was there Tony was running me through stuff on my GPS - checked files, software etc (I tell you that man is helpful!) anyway mentioned that he does back covers for the 60CSx as that is a known weakness - he showed me where it will eventually crack and low and behold was already cracked so I got that sorted as well

Tell me about your crack...

I have had three of these units, all haven't cracked, so it is a hit and miss.... $9.95 US plus US $1.49 shipping, and that is to New Zealand too. Arrives here in five working days http://www.gpscity.com/garmin-60-ser...ery-cover.html

the lug at the bottom of the back plate is a known weak spot - although as said I am sure some are stronger than others - not an expensive fix and I will super glue my cracked one as a spare

Put the glue on thickly and sprinkle baking soda on it.

I didn't take you for an old wife, Fran, or is this not a tale - does it make it super super glue and is it suitable for all applications or just "hard" plastic?

Kenny, sitting here having a 2009 Rolling Shiraz (try it it is bally good) to celebrate beating you to wiring my GPS in, was sitting watching 24 hours in A & E and thought why? so popped into the man cave 1/2 hour later she is plumbed into the hot grips relay switch - had a full tank of gas so just pulled the wires up under and cable tied but will take the tank off soon and make her purty - it works just like a bought one, when I turn my key on, GPS lights up and when I turn key off it says "lost external power source" you just hit any button (which keeps GPS on battery power but turns back light off) or turn it off or just leave it and it turns itself off in 30 seconds

Suitable for anything superglue sticks to.

It acts as a catalyst and makes it set really quickly and really hard. You can use it to fill gaps. If you leave it too long it's like trying to file glass.

Drip an overkill amount on and dust the soda over it. It will not break or crack there again.
You can even chamfer the edges like for welding to give it a groove to fill.

It's also known as welding powder, but that costs a little more...
