Easy job......
Charging a phone uses very little power. I took a feed off the right hand sidelight behind the little access flap in the fairing (If your is the 'S' version). Used a 1 foot length of twin core wire to a FEMALE headphone socket and zip tied the socket to an existing wire by the top yoke. Had the socket pointing down so as to avoid water ingress. Used another foot of same cable on a male connector and the other end onto a 12v cigarette lighter socket. Reaches the tank bag easily and can be unplugged leaving just the fly lead on the bike. Allows you to plug in a car charger easily enough in the tank bag.
If you intend to use the 12v supply for anything heavier than a phone charger use a relay to trip off the sidelights and take constant feed from the battery via an inline fuse. Done this way the power will switch off when the ignition is off.
Hope this helps.
