I got a SAE to USB accessory from eBay and need to install it, can someone please provide the details as to where the SAE connector is located and what I need to take off to get to it? Pictures would help out a lot if you have them.

worked it out, had to take the seat off to get the tank plastics off and found the SAE cable under there, link to the final product on this youtube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRN2ZtbXeNw&feature=youtu.be

Thanks matey, going to do some more mods to the helmet. But might buy a better shaped helmet first

Has anyone tried this with a power tank?  I fear its removal is more cumbersome, but not sure tbh

Thanks for the guidance.  I've got the day off so got the nerve up to remove the tank plastics, but still have no idea where this illusive connector is lol

Remove that nut/washer from the threaded tie-down rod in the first two pictures either side, and that unit should lift up and out. Then take more pictures :-)

I defer at this point to Terry or anyone else who has hands-on with the PowerTank module.

Logically though that brown connector is safe to connect/disconnect some minutes after the bike is off and the contactors (switch inside battery turns on/off battery to outside of its case) have disabled from the bike no longer telling them to be active. But you would want to avoid any kind of large different voltage between the main battery and the PowerTank, so do not allow bike to be turned on nor plugged in to charge until everything is back together. - Resist temptation to test your 12Vdc connections you are uncovering until *after* the PowerTank is reattached.

The brown connector should be only as hazardous to handle as the bike's Aux charging port would be, which is to say they are designed to prevent finger contact but still be mindful don't stick that threaded rod into the contacts, and possibly is the same connector as the aux charging port. Those brown aux charging port connectors can be bolted or secured with additional hardware (or zap straps) but are likely just a plug with a few pounds of force to connect and disconnect.

Glad if you document with more and higher-resolution photos. There's people who have done this before but not receently with such a clean stock bike and taking good photos :-)
