I have been asked about this a few times, so I just thought it would be better to put it together in one thread. I wanted to run a GPS and battery charger, so I removed the throttle cable bracket and machined a stainless steel plate for a power outlet with an integrated throttle cable slot. I used the original bolt and two bolts/nuts as stops underneath. Locktite, once again, is the friend here. The mount is very solid and does not move. There are easier ways to mount a power outlet - such as tywraps. The center conductor of the cigarette lighter goes to the positive side of the battery using an in-line fuse. I used 5amps, I think.(I would not be using anything that would draw more than 5 amps) The outside conductor goes to the negative side. The boating store sells very nice marine grade(stainless) quality power outlets. I would recommend them. The battery charger can be modified to charge the battery in the same way.(see pic) Just watch the polarity - positive charging wire goes to the center conductor(which goes to the positive side of battery) and the other to the outer conductor.
I purchase a retractable cord on the net for my nuvi200. It is much easier to manage when installing on the bike. I really enjoy the battery charger because I don't have to go through the hassle of lifting the tank (especially in the winter) to charge it. Hope this helps someone.:Flash:
