Hi all and welcome back

During my recent trip up to Nordkapp and back I realised the Airman compressor I carried was too powerful to be run from the Canbus controlled DIN sockets on the bike, popping the software fuses instantly (these are reset by switching the ignition off and back on). To overcome this, and drilling a hole only in the Wunderlich Accessory Sidepanels, I was able to fit an auxiliary DIN socket direct to the battery. This overcame the issue and has the added benefit of giving a charge point (with suitable adapter(s)), even when the ignition is switched off. For example GoPro batteries or helmet intercom while stopped for coffee or lunch. Obviously the bike battery is not finite so be sure not to flatten it but charging the batteries for an hour should be OK with a good bike battery.

The products are available from Nippy Norman (although I purchased all but the socket itself), here
