Hi,
I ran 'circuitry' up the left side of the bike from a switched line in the fuse box and then across to the sealed cubby on the right side. There I mounted a dual plug USB socket to power, in my case, iPhone and Garmin. From there it's not difficult to route wires around to wherever you mount the devices.

Now circuitry can be a pair of wires, but in my case, I also wanted to add power for heated gear and future farkles. So in said right side cubby I mounted a circuit box by Eastern Beaver (http://easternbeaver.com/Main/Wiring...PC-8/pc-8.html). At the time, some on this forum suggested that an additional fuse box should be mounted under the seat. I like the right side cubby as it is much easier to get to than removing the #%@$@ seat should I need to replace a fuse (Which I never have had to do).

I know this sounds like a lot of work but it isn't. I used 3M tape to mount the fuse box to the cubby cover itself. Clean install and works great.

I don't own an F6B yet. Just lurking on the site trying to familiarize myself with the bike. On my Honda ST I have three Powerlet Outlets one up front and two under the seat for heated gear. These are connected to an FZ1 fuse box ( very similar to Eastern Beaver PC8) Are there any preferred or suggested locations for installing/mounting the Powerlet outlets on the F6B?

I ran both switched and unswitched fused wires up the left side of bike, coat hanger will fish them behind tank and out in front of tank. Then down the front and back into the area under the left cubby, plenty of room under the box and easy to get back to the bars or right side. Then you can do anything you need and not have to go back to battery. My battery tender and headed gear are not fed from up past the gas tank but direct from battery and closer to the seat. Heated gear in front of seat and tender in the hole in front of the left bag.

I currently am running 5...mix of USB and Cigar and Battery hook ups. You can never have enough.
