Same here. Most of us use powered cradles, so you might want to add an auxiliary fuse box and just wire it in. My power socket is for a cell phone charger.

Wired in a fuse box and relay under the seat. One of these on each side. License plate light wire switches the relay.

 Where did you get the outlets?

I wired a cigarette lighter type outlet to my '97 and used a zip tie around the speedo to secure it. Works great, very good location for usability on handlebar mounted goodies. All my pictures are on my hard drive back home.

Wal-Mart. I am still going to shoot them with some flat-black paint to make them look a little less obvious - just have not done it yet.

Looks like I need to take a trip to Wally World today and see if they have the covered outlet like you have.  Thanks for the info.

There is a wire under the tank that goes to carb heaters on the European models. I believe it is orange and it is on/off with the ignition. This powers my relay for my driving lights. Works like a charm and I hate splicing into another circuit.
