    Default USB charger .. Rocker switch

    ... for center position of switch panel below handle bars.

    Could any of you guys give me a recommendation of where to source the type you used yourselves -- please :-) Thanks

    There's quite a few out there, just wanted to get the right one first time I order.
    Just watched Pierre's video of the install -- real good video.

    http://www.canamspyderaccessories.co...t-st-blue-led/ --- is the one I'm leaning towards, even though it's twice the price of some out there.

    Thanks Chris. Site says they're out of stock but I'll call them.

    OK -- Talked to JT. He has no more and won't be getting more.

    Something you might need to consider


    I had a double USB rocker switch on my switch panel on me 2015 RT SE5 model
    Because I had fitted it on the far right hand side of the switch cluster I noticed if I plugged in a USB lead to charge up my Sens SMH10 headset whilst riding when turning the handlebars it would hit the plug in the rocket switch and would dislodge it
    I found by repositioning the rocker switch into the middle position it gave enough clearance and turning the handlebars did not get anywhere near the plug

    It may be worth checking your favoured position for your switch before making a final decision of where to place it

    This the one I used. It worked very well,and was easy to install and looks good. Pierre is also very good to work with.

    Noted Eddie -- already have a blank space in the center and that's where it's going.
