I recently purchased an air compressor from WildatHeart. When plugged into underseat 12v jack on 1200GS, it only pumps for a second before shutting down. When I called supplier they informed me that it has to be connected directly (crocodile clips) to battery - major mission for a simple task(should have bought a bicycle pump). I have thought to rewire the jack but is it possible AND how would that affect me - other applications like charger, etc. Also is it a home DIY job or auto electrician required...?

Hi Andy, Koop vir jou 'n "Hella"( lyk soos die lighter plug in jou motor, maar kleiner ) plug by Midas en kabel dit aan jou battery vas. Werk soos 'n droom op my 1200. Groete, Danie.

If you do a search on "socket" or "compressor" you'll find tons of articles about this, including how to and photos. Cheers Pete. ''The world needs dreamers that DO!''

If you can dream it you can do it!

Hi Andy, Neil did a great post a while ago regarding this - I've used and tested this and it works like a bomb [http://www.bmwmotorcycleclubcape.co.za/auxiliary-power-point-r1200gs Click Here]
