12v Accessory plug appears to be missing on US models?

It appears my bike (and maybe all US CT125's) is missing the switched 12v plug that other markets have in the headlight. I was going to use it to install a kitaco USB plug that include a harness to plug into the factory wiring.

Only plugs here are for L/R turn signals, the ignition switch and headlight.

Compare this to the foreign models. Here is the plug the kitaco USB adaptor plugs right into.

I took apart the entire assembly to be sure that it was there or not. Now I see why Honda does not sell the factory grip warmers or USB kit in the USA. All that to save a few pennies and then not be able to sell their factory accessories (that I assume carry a high margin.)? Seems stupid. Makes me wonder if we got a lower spec stator too...

It's not there...I tapped into the headlamp harness...black is positive, green is negative...Migolito's video mentioned green/white is positive but that didn't work for me...

I was going to start a thread asking where to tap for two additional LEDs and a usb socket but I will ask here.
Do yoy think those tiny headlight wired can carry the load?
There is another socket with three wires in it that are larger. I do not see it in the wiring diagram. What did I miss?
The diagram also shows a "back up" 10A fuse. I have not looked at the fuse box.

So I have not tapped into anything yet. I much prefer switched power because I prefer to protect against the OOPS factor.
P.S. Can the bike be push started? My NC700DCT cannot. Bang head.gif

My electrical diagram shows the W/G going from the rectifier to the speedo to the high beam. Bet the speedo leg is the blue high-beam indicator. I prefer full time switched power.

I don't think so with semi clutch...but why? That's what the kick start is for...
