I was thinking of adding some stuff too, but I figured I'd try to reduce the load on the system as much as possible first.  Figured that converting all the lighting to LED's would help the most.  Then I've got more power to play with.

I like to keep my Drifter pretty much gadget-free... by gadgets I mean mp3 players, gps's, radio equip, intercom, etc.

Don't get me wrong, these things are useful and server their purpose. But on my drifter they look out of place and definitely not "vintage".  I do have a Goldwing with every gadget imaginable and they are definitely useful when touring.

That said, I am going to start adding some gadgets, but will be making them... ah... invisible as much as possible. Right now, I use my iTouch... in my pocket, for music. I want to add a GPS... likely a small garmin, and maybe a two-way radio or the like.

The electrical system of the Drifter is NOT the best for gadgets, so controlling what is used and how it is powered would be a serious consideration.

So what gadgets have you added and how do you have them mounted and powered?
