USB port

[Oldman]

Hello everyone,
New member Oldman here. My problem, I bought two Trail 125’s the both came with a USB port bracket installed. I watch a few YouTube videos and order GSG Technology ports thinking I was in business, but the ports are a hair too big to fit the bracket. Has anyone installed a port in the factory bracket? If so what is the brand name and where was it purchased? Thanks in advance, Oldman

They're all like that...I used a carbide bit and open up the hole a few 1,000th till my Amazon USB plug dropped in...I believe the only one that would drop in without modification would be Honda's own proprietary USB...probably a few hundred bucks...

This one fits the stock hole without enlarging the hole: https://japan.webike.net/products/24246581.html
The wiring plug it comes with is meant to plug into a power port that the JP bikes have but our USA bikes do not, so if you decide to use this one you'll either want to wire it direct to the battery, or tap the ignition wire so it comes on with key-on.

That's what I meant...shipping for this would be the deal killer...$20 free shipping...

I wrote up my install as part of this post:

#2425 doing maintenance, probably like an idiot

I'll be adding to this whenever something interesting or new is done on the bike, hopefully remembering to take photos as I go. For new and prospective owners, this will be a reference for what they'll probably have to do themselves. For me and for everyone else, it'll be because my dumb arse...

IMO, skip the dremel if you're not using something like a flapper wheel and do it by hand. It'll take a little longer, but there's been several people who had the dremel skip a bit and it did some cosmetic scuffs on the mounting plate.

Also keep in mind, if you screw up, a replacement plate is only $45.

opening the hole up is easy. few things:
tape up the bracket so it if slips out, it will hit the tape. turn the speed down on the dremel. I opened mine up in about 30 seconds with a carbide bit on the dremel w a flex shaft. easy as pie. .02

It's meant for the Super Cub but fits perfectly into the Trail 125 slot without any modification / hole enlarging required. Best part is that the red 4 pin plug, plugs directly into the Trail 125's diagnostic port near the battery. Completely plug and play, no need to splice any wires or anything.

How much is shipping?

Unfortunately it's not cheap, about $21 shipping cost for me coming from Japan to Vermont.

I'm not sure, but I've purchased a couple items separately from WeBike (side rack & the usb plug) and both packages arrived within a week of ordering. They seem to ship very quickly and they package their items well! Not trying to sound like I'm promoting them or anything but that's been my experience so far.

I got my Diablo crash bars from them a few months ago...really like this set...

thats a solid choice for sure. good find. def wasn't available when i got my bike. (at least i didnt see any) but that was feb of 21.

I used one of the amazon ones with the harness. I tried for 10 mins to get it to go. (9 mins too long) I finally lined it up and hit it with my palm. Luckily it went in without breaking any of the threads. I think they were malleable enough to just bend and return to center. The plastic nut screwed on fine. Probably not the best option but for once my impatience paid off.

I also used one of the Amazon ones, but filed away at it for a few minutes by hand before using the dremel. If you're more talented with a dremel than I am you could probably achieve the same result in 30s.

I have found that wiring is different between 2023 and 2022. Just make sure you get the right one.

We are still talking about USB ports right?

 

[joseywales]

The simplest most easy way to add a USB port that I can find on YouTube. There is a link to the product in Amazon as well. I have one ordered.

 

[KYtrailfan]

I got this one from Amazon for the 2022. Plug n play.
