Want to add a two port USB outlet either to the handlebars or to windshield hardware.  If I can't find something clean, I'll reluctantly put one in the (otherwise useless) center windshield pouch.  Want to power a Bluetooth speaker and a Garmin or phone.  Plan on getting power from the auxiliary power cable my manual says is under the tank.  What have you guys come up with?

This is what I bough inexpensively years ago. On a tourer, I would mount it on the front of the frame.



But there are a lot, highly priced, I would look for a handle bar mounted one.

Not sure what manual you have. The aux hook up is near the battery usually accessible behind the right side cover

If you have a panel area to mount on, Amazon has a ton of ideas - just purchased a voltmeter/USB combination, 1 1/8 inch diameter...

I like the integrated switch on this unit; haven't seen that before.  With the dual USB port I currently have in my saddlebag, I added a toggle switch to eliminate its small current draw when not in use.

This is my cigar lighter outlet with a USB socket pushed in.
The rubber cap in my hand keep it totally dry when not in use.
