    Default Where/how do you run the USB Power Cord for phone?

    My F3S has the USB port inside the frunk. How are you running the cord from the handlebar to inside the frunk?

    You don’t. You add a USB to the dash area.

    Kinda like this. https://www.slingmods.com/can-am-spy...port?vehicle=1

    I ran a 14 gage fused wire directly off the battery up and out under the seat with an SAE connector on the end. Then I can split off to USB or any other 12v connector I wish. I charge my phone, GPS, Sena, and 2 heated jackets off that line. Simple easy and very cost effective, and easy to install. When not in use, leave rolled up under the seat. Also, I use it to connect to a battery tender during the winter.

    Put star washers on the battery bolts. I ran mine through a small flexible wire loom tubing from the battery to the seat area just for extra protection. Good luck.

    Plugged it in the customer convenience outlet under the left inspection panel, and ran it into the tank bag. Got a plug on it that allows removing the tank bag.

    I also eliminated the useless analog dash gages and installed the cigarette type receptacle on one side and a dual USB with and volt meter on the other side. I also installed another double USB/volt meter in the empty switch spot right below the steering head. So, I've got 12v power coming out everywhere. Frunk, trunk saddle bags under the seat, and to my trailer when I pull it.
