Review on Metal Motorcycle Cigarette Lighter Socket Kit With USB Charger And Built-In Lighter, 12V/24V, Compatible With 0.86-0.99 Inch Handlebars, Ideal For Charging Phones And GPS Devices While Riding by Ron Houston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Seems like it will do the job, but we'll see

I was looking for a power port to recharge my iPhone i use as a speedometer and GPS on my Harley Sportster. Everything i researched was cheap plastic and had a parasitic drain on the battery. I found this iMESTOU mount and it seemed not to have a parasitic drain on the battery and it was made of metal, so i bought one. It arrived quickly and without damage. I mounted and hooked it up in less than an hour. I road around a little bit and it charged the phone just fine. I left it hooked up overnight without draining the battery. It was easy to mount and looks great on the handle bars. As everyone knows Harley Davidson motorcycles vibrate. Being mounted on the handle bars it is going to take considerable vibration. We will see if it can hold up to this vibration, i have my fingers crossed that i will have this for the life of the bike. After a few months i'll review again.

Pros
  • 👍
Cons
  • The cost of the kit may be prohibitively expensive for some riders, who may opt for cheaper or more versatile charging options
