I bought a 12 volt power unit from the local autozone, mounted it on the left of my fairing dash, wired it direct to battery. Works and looks fine. Found a mount to put the GPS in front of the bar bag, like it better there. Note the fork protectors. Wallacem
The proper way to extend the new power wire to the handlebars is to remove all the plastic (Tupperware) and to run the wire from the battery along the wire harness. If you don't want do all that work, just snake it through under the tank area until you can grab it from the front of the bike. When you do take the plastic off for general maintenance, you can simply re-arrange it to it's proper position along the wire harness. View attachment 95
In addition I have a Bestem top box and installed another one of those receptacles from the battery so I have a place to charge something while riding.
That's cool, I was going to do the same thing, but I was thinking about doing it to the side cases...which I don't have yet. Hmmm, maybe both???
