Let me start this by saying thank you to Sanger_A2. He may not know it but I looked at his site to see how he did his 12 volt charger and mounted a bar to clamp a GPS/Phone onto and then I essentially copied it. So Sanger your the man thank you.
Alright so first I bought these

the headphone cable extension I already owned pretty sure it was radioshack
Then I wrapped the cables of the 12v outlet in electrical tape since it was annoying having 2 5 foot long cable going everywhere. I also put ends on the cable. I put a ring end on the negative lead and quick disconnect for the positive since I was adding a 1 amp quick blow fuse at the battery. (forgot to take photo of the fuses but is like this one from radioshack 5-Amp Inline Fuse Holder for 5x20mm Fuses - RadioShack.com

Next I had to make a mounting bracket for the 12 Volt plug. I took a piece of scrap metal and bent and shaped it using a table vice a hammer and wedges. I smoothed the edges with a grinder.
The almost final product

Next I mounted it onto the left turn signal bracket.

Next I took sanger's idea and used a copper pipe mine was smaller in diameter (like 18mm) than his but it worked beautifully. flattened the ends of the pipe so I could fit it just above the instruments. You can see I also ran a headphone cable behind the instrument cluster along the pathway of all the cables to the battery and then it comes out just by the seat.
Bar mounted with phone holder still need to paint just being lazy
