Hi all, So I've decided to upgrade the bike for long hauls by adding a GPS mount and power outlet to my 2009 ABS. I didn't have any room to mount the power outlet on the inner fairing plastics because the ABS module takes up so much room. I'm working on creating a new mounting bracket to hold either a power outlet or USB, or combination of the two. I'll hopefully be working on the prototype this weekend depending on the weather and other commitments, but here is the solution I have come up with so far. As I progress I'll update you all with pics of the completed project

Hello All, Need some help removing spark plug from cylinder 4, I think (left front). The socket seems unable to get a grip. Almost as though the hex on it is stripped, or something. It just jumps off as I turn, no matter how much downward pressure I put on it. Of course being the most awkward plug to remove on the bike doesn’t help! Had to dismantle most fairings and right rad to give enough room. Who would have thought changing plugs required removing the mirrors... Plug was installed less than 200 miles ago with copper ease so it is not seized. I just can’t get any purchase on the blasted plug. Something must be be wrong as the CBR coils I installed successfully on the other 3 plugs will not install on this one. Almost like it is sticking out a bit more than the others, not allowing the coil to seat. Took a couple of pictures but cannot make anything out of them: Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any advice on getting the plug out? Thanks in advance, Stray
