Well, finally got up nerve to attack the rear end of my Spyder to install a 12v plug....panels came off easy enough after watching videos a couple time...planned on mounting the plug in the unused spot on the right side of the trunk...wouldn't ya know, of course it was oblong and not round so I dug out my little 'nipper' tool and of course, it didn't have a wide enough bite for the thickness of the plastic...so I searched my tool box for a reamer to clean it out...so solly, no reamer...off to the hardware store...they had a really nice reamer for a drill, but they wanted $50.00 for it.(and no manual one available)..so being frugal, I bought a mandrel with a stone on it for $5.98 and took it home..got the hole enlarged and mounted the new socket...couldn't get a good crimp on the wire ends, so I looked for my crimping tool...of course, couldn't find it.., so back to the hardware store...$9.98....got one end of the pos/neg wires attached to the socket and went to put the speaker housing back on, and of course, it wouldn't fit...have to cut some of it away....tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow....why didn't BRP put one in when they built the dang bike????

I got lucky, the PO put one of those in that same location. Now all I need is an actual battery tender to connect to it.

Yea, my salesman said they would put one in, but it didn't happen and I didn't ask or check when I picked up the bike....my bad....
