I see I was paged.
So, this is actually very easy to do, it just depends on how you want to make it work.
Option 1: Power is on all the time, even when the bike is off.

And one of these:

You will cut the CLIPS off of that power socket and solder the fused 12V that you ran from the battery to your dash, to this. MAKE VERY SURE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE POLARITY (+/-) AS YOU GO, so you do not hook anything up backwards.
Then, you just plug in that 2slot USB adapter and BINGO, you have fused 12V USB power at your dash. You can charge TWO phones, ipads, gps, mp3 player, etc....
Depending on the model of the USB adapter, it may actually stay lit (small led on the adapter shows when it has power) all the time. My buddy did this exact install and he leaves it lit for WEEKS and the battery fires right up because the drain is essentially nothing. If you park your bike for long periods of time, just unplug the 2slot USB adapter from the cigarette lighter and that will ensure that there is NO drain from this mod on your battery.
OPTION 2: Run this same setup, but do it from a fuse on your fuse block that gets power only when the bike is on.
To do this, just refer to the Service Manual for your bike, and find the accessory power fuse. An example is here:

In that pic, the #5 fuse is accessory power.
You can use an "add a line fuse kit" to tap into this accessory power and it even gives you a built in FUSE for the new line (obviously verify that the add a line kit you order is for THE CORRECT FUSE TYPE/SIZE!, this is just an example).

So, for this method, you would install it the same way, but starting at Step 3, because adding this "add a line" kit will give you a fused 12V+ line from the accessores, so you just run your ground (-) line to the frame or to any common ground (like the battery negative terminal).
Get those wires to the dash, and then run the steps above starting at Step 4.
