What exactly are these "Accessories 2.1" plugs hanging off the side of my Svartpilen 401 and can they be turned into heated grips or a USB charging port?

I mean, you have a v-twin, if you need to inflate your tire just pull one of the plugs and use this

I wish my Svart 401 had a second cylinder... :negative:

I'm pretty ignorant of these connectors, but is there a name for the Accessory plugs on my bike? Everything that comes up in searches looks like a different kind of plug.

One example of many:

Why is it illegal to have a helmet cam? The tax collector in blue (NYPD) added it to the tax bill he gave me today for lane splitting.

Is there a word for that sensation of the handlebars no longer being straight even when you're riding in a straight line? Every once in a while my brain just decides the bars are turned when they definitely aren't. Usually takes a few glances down at my hands to reset the feeling.

Any tricks for insulating clutch and brake levers in the cold weather? With heated grips and winter gloves everything is toasty except for the points of contact with the levers.

Did you buy that bike like that? It looks like it's not worn too much, but it most definitely is not the right tire size for the rim. Don't ride it.

Gotta go to Reddit to find the OP.

Lately it's been raining a lot and it's making me freak out every time I park after a long commute. The rain combined with the road grime that gets kicked up all over my engine results in burning smells (Subtle oil/plastic scents) carried in the billowing steam that really seems like a bike fire is about to start. Husqvarna 401's are known to run stupid hot during normal operation, but I'm worried my bike is beyond normal. Does anyone else experience this when riding a lot in the winter?

I'm the dummy here right? I assumed the driver was slowing to turn left at the cross street, but should've waited a bit longer before passing.

I'm not thrilled about this but I'll need to street park my bike in Boston for at least the summer.

What's a good GPS tracker that'll alert me and find it when it gets stolen?

I use a Monimoto. It worked as intended, calling my cell and activating tracking when I tested it.

It's combined with a brake lock, a few airtags and an Oxford Beast chain lock (after thieves got through a Kryptonite NY Fuhgettaboutit lock).

Ugly up your bike cover too. Smear something on it that could be mistaken for poop for maximum deterence.

How much cooler is it to ride with one hand on the bars instead of two? Must add at least +5 to Rider Coolness since I see so many dudes in t-shirts and sandals doing it.
