I'd really like to do this eventually and get GPS, what was your total cost?

Thanks for the write-up.
I found this low-profile socket that sits lower on the fairing:

and here is an idea for the wire going through a relay that will prevent battery drain when the bike is off. I haven't done it myself yet, but others have.

Never thought about installing it there. This is where I put mine, one on each side. Figured it was easier to put them there and I wanted easy access from the tank bag where the iPod or phone might be. One on each side, so I have the GPS in one, the phone/ipod in the other. Used the USB ports in them and the water tight cap still fits when they are in there so I can leave them in all the time.

Thats where i was planning on putting mine...but have some handle bar interference concerns....any issues????
