Title: 25 ft 14 Ga charging cable
Post by: domingo3 on September 04, 2021, 05:02:24 AM

Found this cable recently.  It's the longest I've found with decent gauge wires.  Nice to not need an extension cord.

Nice find.
I have a 15’ 14awg extension cord stashed in my DSR’s swing arms stiffener tube.
Keep an eye on the cords ends for signs of excessive heat which indicates a poor connection.
If/when the connection(s) go bad replace with screw clamp type for a good connection.
I remove a few mm on the female end for greater conductor contact to the bikes male connector.
