I run my car navigation on my bike and needed a way to charge it so I installed a cigerette lighter. I didnt see it on here already, but it probably is.
I bought red and black wire, shrink wire connectors, some U shaped wire ends (whatever they are called), a fuse holder and fuses, and the lighter. All for about 25 at an auto parts store. I connected the U shape ends to the wire and to the battery. Ran the wires up under the seat, put the fuse on the red. Connected both sides with the shrink connectors. Next I drank a beer, then pulled that chrome strip with the gauges and ran both wires under. I taped them together on the other side of the panel with electrical tape and connected them to the lighter/charger. I ziptied that under that annoying rattling flap on the dynas that covers the risers. Thats it.
I have used it with my nav and charged up the phone a few times when camping.
Not much of a mod but I wanted something I could use to tap the 12V when I needed it and also use as a socket for a battery tender. I've seen it done on this thread just not in the same location I wanted it inconspicuous but handy so I could reach from a riding position or sitting on the ground by the bike. I mounted it to the bottom of the electrical cover and ran the wires through the electrical box under the seat to the battery and fused it next to the battery. Water proof socket 8$

Bored with the cowbell I painted a stripe down the centre and arrowhead 2/3 of the way up. I did this about 6 months ago without sanding. Im sure it would easily scrape off,if I wanted to remove it. Cost 0$. I call it " Portrait
of a Lady" If you dont see it, look again. It looks like every woman Ive known.

Variations on this have been done here but here's my take on it.
went to the flea market and bought an aluminium pot and a chrome candy dish. With a dremel I cut them to the approx. diameter of my filter. The pot bottom was painted with a skull and drilled in the center.
The candy dish had 3 legs. I snapped them off and drilled holes for 3 small bolts to hide the marks. Then drilled a centre hole and used a spacer behind for mounting. Cost- dish plus pot $1.00
