Well, with my ignition switch relocated I really wanted to do something with the hole in the front of my bike.
I decided to put in a 12v lighter socket. I was going to do a permanent USB plug, but they draw voltage even when not in use even if it is just a very small amount.
I was going to make a bracket that utilized the existing holes for the ignition switch but decided for ease of maintenance and installation it would be better to mount it to the plate. It wasn't as easy as I had hoped as the plate doesn't want to go back on the bike with a socked hanging out of it. After a few prints I dialed it in. Came up with 2 different designs.
