my xtr 12v socket mod

I thought this project would be a simple affair by simply bolting on the socket and wiring it up. When I got to the shed yesterday I discovered that this wouldn't be the case due to lack of space on the bars!

This is the socket I bought


Cheap and cheerful from eBay

I also used one of these



With the help of a Dremel I cut it down to a more suitable shape and drilled holes for it to mount the socket



Thn mounted it to the fork clamp. I utilised the top bolt and used a m5 bolt into the other bolt hole that is conveniently placed there



Once all bolted up it looks nearly stock and is also discretely placed and quite well protected from the elements



Powered from the side light circuit via a relay, job done




Hope this helps someone wanting to do the same
