What does everyone use for a Accessory plug. If its the BMW Plug. Does it take a special Male end. dwsmith69@... Mesa AZ

BMW is the best going I think. I fill the center of the male plug with sicilone for water proofing and abuse. Kenn dwsmith91 wrote:

Speaking of BMW accessory plugs, I learned today (my apologies if this is well known) that the BMW accessory plugs and sockets are identical to the Bosch ones used on some John Deere equipment, which means that one can buy them at most John Deere dealers (as I did today), possibly more cheaply than if they were BMW brand.

That's true but the John Deere plugs (female) is deeper than the BMW, meaning that you need more depth on the place on the bike you mount the plug. Also the price quoted by my local John Deere dealer is within a few dollars of the BMW price. Ride Safe Kenn lbauer2 wrote:

How much does the BMW dealer ask for them? For me the chief incentive to using the Bosch plugs and sockets (they have at least two models of sockets, btw, so they might come in different depths) is that there's no BMW cycle dealer within 50 miles of me. -Lujo
