No, there are no user electrical connections on the front / right side of the bike.

What some people have done is to tap into the cigarette lighter wires on the right side but that of course requires cutting and soldering on the bike's harness. The cigarette lighter is on the same electrical circuit that is used for the user connectors (front and back) though so it is an acceptable circuit to use for external powered devices.

Where are people tying in their GPS and radar detectors?

I'd like to find a switched circuit that goes off when the bike is turned off.

I thought the aux connection under the seat was switched when I hooked up my heated Corbin, but it's on a hot wire all the time.

The Aux wires front and rear also lighter plug are all off when the key is off
if yours is hot all the time you are connected to something other than the Aux circuit

This got a little off topic, but:

I installed the seat's power the way that Corbin's directions said to do it. Unfortunately, that's hot all the time.

The instructions said to plug the piggy-back fuse/wire into the accessory slot in the fuse box. On the 2011 C14, there is is a slot marked "5A Accessory" (I think the instruction said 7A or 10A). That's exactly what I did, hoping that it would be a switched connection. But, it wasn't and the seats ON switch can be turned on even with the ignition off.

I'm just waiting for some fool to say, "What's this?" and turn it on when I'm not around and run the battery down.
