Just curious if anyone knows this off hand. A couple of my friends who ride 1200GS' and F650's stated they have additional accessory wiring located under the tank. I have not yet pulled my tank off to investigate, but does anyone know if the R has that same wiring?
This there accessory wiring under the tank?

Yes there is a capped pig tail that is just below where the tank mounts on the front right. I believe it is the factory accessory GPS power supply. You can buy a leader from BMW that connects to the pig tail. I have a 2011 R1200R and have my Garmin Nuvi powered by this source. No need to pull the tank, it's pretty accessible from the front of the bike when you turn the wheel all the way left.

Someone else's picture, but you get the idea.
