Hi Harry,
I installed a small 12V outlet in the dashboard which runs into my tankbag with a homemade extension wire. It comes straight from the battery with its own fuse. I chose to buy a $20 100W 12V/110V inverter because it gives me flexibility; one day I'll charge my netbook while riding, the other day I'll charge my camera batteries, PSP or cell phone. Yes, I am a geek, even on the road. All use the standard 100-240V adapters that come with the device rather then having to buy a bunch of specialized in-car power supplies. You may want to figure out how much juice your bike generates while riding before installing. I don't advise using this (or any) setup with the engine turned off; you will drain your battery quicker than you anticipate.
Good luck and have fun on the road!
Vincent
