Finally got the 12v motorcycle turn signals working. The motto if at first you don't succeed try, try, again came into play with this mod. My original plan to use my powerbank with 12v usb booster failed due to the bank shutting off when no load was present. Next I added a dummy load and that failed as well. Next I tried to use the USB-c output on the display and that failed as well shutting down as soon as I turned on the turn signals. Got all the wiring done and into a box mounted where the front basket used to be. Even made a custom graphic for the plain black cover. So now I needed another solution and found this

One of the few power banks that remain on always used for time lapse photography and stuff like cctv cameras and such. Anyway 12 v out is perfect so I ran the power cord back to the rear along the same path as the wire for the rear turn signals and mounted the bank in the tote. Soldered up the plug as with all other connections and shrink wraped the joints. Eureka it works and I took my first ride with them operational today. Super de duper..

Also mounted a tire pump to the lower frame with the existing bottle cage screws. Nice feature of the Radwagon 5 is lots of these frame mounting
points.
