GPS on a heritage
I have a gps unit that I want to put on my heritage.(tom tom 335) I have ordered the ram mount but I am trying to figure out the best way to wire it. I have read that you shouldn't wire the unit directly to the battery. Is there a way to wire it without wiring a cigarette lighter adapter or do they make cables specifically for that?
Thanks

At the very end, where it goes to the cigarette lighter is a red and black wire. There is a PC board up stream to the GPS unit. It was originally a part of the cigarette lighter plug (which I dismantled to reduce the size). I wrapped the PC board as best I could to protect it, and tied up the excess wire. If it were not for that board, it would be possible to shorten the cable.
I had not thought about running from the battery. That would eliminate the wad of wire under the dash. I think I will run directly from the battery!

Cig Lighter
Install the cig lighter, you can get nice chromed ones that look good. I installed one on mine, works great. I can charge my fone if I need to, power my GPS when nessary, even made a cable to go from cig plug to cig plug to jump start the bike (beats havin to remove the seat).
It was really easy to install and has a ton of advantages, for me anyway.
I got mine in chrome, discounted from a buddy's store. I think it cost $70. Took all of about 10 minutes to install.
