Lol, thats what I was going to do, some plug socket ting from Maplins, but never got round to it, maybe in the Winter lay up.

Can take some pics of the bag with all the stuff in if it helps.

i got a normal car type 12v socket from Hein Gericke, Northampton for about �10. It comes with a plastic mounting plate to mount on a curved surface like the handlebars. The positive cable comes with an inbuilt fuse and it attaches to the battery with ring terminals. Also has a plastic/rubber cover to prevent/minimise water getting in when not in use.

I found it perfect for charging my phone/mp3 player/AA batteries when on long trips on the bike. Only issue I had fitting was extending the power cables for my bandit cause I wanted to run the wiring hidden under the tank. I also put a load of electrical tape along the bottom of the unit where the power leads come out, waterproof it a bit more.

Have come back this weekend from a great ride out in Yorkshire, the SATNAV got me there with no problem at all. The bag did suffer a little bit from condensation when it warmed up a bit on the way home but to be fair after all the rain it went through im suprised it didnt get washed away. LOL

The bag sits nicely on the cross bar of the handlebars, and on the XT660Z it stops a lot of the buffeting as it seems to block/divert the air flow coming up through the hole between the front of the tank and the forks. I am thinking of getting another another cheap bar bag to leave on the bike to cause the same effect but when i dont need the SATNAV.

Tuareg bag from Hein Greicke comes highly recommended for this. It's permanently attacahed to my bike and usually totally empty! Costs only a tenner.
