I decided to install a regular 12v power socket in place of where the Triumph "Aux Power Outlet" goes. I found an all weather power outlet at my local auto parts store. I chose this one because it was totally enclosed and had two heavy gauge wires coming out of the back for easy installation. It cost around $6.00
I removed the bearclaw and left side cover. I then removed the plastic panel which the socket mounts into. I removed the blank plug and drilled the existing hole to about 1 inch in diameter. I then filed and trimmed until I got a snug fit. I also trimmed off the mounting bracket that was on the power socket.
Once I was satisfied with the fit I mixed up some good ol' JB Weld. It should be noted the fit was good enough to hold it in however I wanted some insurance that it wouldn't work loose.
The connector plug for the power outlet is behind the mounting panel. The purple wire connection is positive. I had to replace the female spade connectors that came with the power socket with 1/4 inch male connectors because the plug on the bike is female. I then replaced everything and..........
