I have a Tomtom ONE on a handlebar mount on my Shadow.  I've been looking around for a waterproof cigarette lighter socket that I can mount somewhere around the handlebars.  It'd be nice to charge the GPS or my cellphone while I'm riding.  Battery life for my GPS is usually 2 hours or so, so what I do is get the general route, turn off the GPS, then turn it back when I figure I'm close or hopelessly lost.

If I find something that will benefit my fellow rider, I'll post it here.  Agreed that a fused link is probably the best idea, connected directly to the battery.
