Garmin sat nav power supply
Hi All,
I'm a newbie (just joined) and wanted to tap into your knowledge.
I have an 07 Fatboy andwant to fit a Garmin.The cradle and RAM mount fits neatly between the handlebar risers but I need to know where to take the power & return from. Has anybody done this and would like to offer some advice. From a location point of viewIF the power & return could be taken from wiring on the underside of the speedo/ignition panel this would be neat. (I have taken pics of the wiring which I can forward if this is a remotely sensible solution)
All advice welcome -thanks in advance

RE: Garmin sat nav power supply
For my GPS, I installed a lighter socket under the seat,hard wired to the battery terminals,and ran the GPS wire under the tank and up to the bars from there. Very clean installation. I did order a supply cable that wasn't the springy one that comes with the unit. Made it alot easier to fit it next to the wiring harness under the tank. Don't remember where I got the cable from but they can be found online.

Got mine running under my speedo no problem, then wired into the battery via a power supply I got from touratech, which I soldered to the clipped ends off a battery tender harness, changed the fuse to a 2 amp fuse, and I'm good to go. The only wiring I see is coming out the front of the speedo and around the h-bars.
