[QUOTE="BikerGeek99, post: 1369081, member: 14243"] Hi, Northwoods! How're things going? Wife and kids doing well? You mention that you have a 5-port USB charger. Is it a 'true' charger, or just a hub? I tried using a hub as a charging station and ran into the exact same issues that you described. Hubs are fine-ish for moving data but for charging... Not so much. Kinda like a GenI charging system - not enough juice to go around. For me, I'm pretty sure I have the exact same doo-dad that Niehart pictured - a BikeMaster dual-port USB socket. You can see Niehart's mounting solution. I just keep mine in my tank bag and plug it into the batter tender harness when needed and toss our phones in the tank bag to charge. Extrememarine has the same dual socket gizmo mounted in his Givi. [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQHK6LC"]BikeMaster Dual-USB Socket Amazon clicky.[/URL] See ya! [/QUOTE]
