My iPhone ran out of juice on a ride this weekend. Trying to come up with a good solution for USB. I bought a Harley Davidson USB adapter. Apparently it only draws power when a USB device is connected:
Do yourself a favor and get a little powerbank that fits in your pocket, they are tiny, do not take power from your battery, because if it goes to low, your ride will not start.

cant get behind this never had a problem. Have had usb ports on my bikes for years. Rode up and down the east coast with phone using gps and audio.. no probs. Left phone charging in bags while away from bike. No probs

Man have you been lucky cvaria, I suppose I just had rotten luck with batteries and so have a few of my mates.
I like the idea of having the charging port inside the saddlebags, since it's out of sight, but think it would need a longer cable to reach the handlebars that way. I also had one on a prior bike in the windshield bag, wired straight to the battery, and didn't have trouble with the battery dying from it. I think I'll install a cigarette lighter port I had gotten for my wife's bike on the handlebars on my new bike, since she's told me she doesn't need it.
Thanks for the responses. I have a power bank that I put into the handlebar mounted toolbar bag, for the next ride, although it seems like duct tape.
Would rather have a solid solution. My iPhone never leaves my side. So no chance my battery will get drained. Since it'll never be left connected to the bike, unless I'm riding it.
I use a Battery Tender when the bike is parked in my garage, so I think the drainage concern isn't an issue in my case.
I run a 5 foot USB cable from the tender pigtail up under my seat and under the tank console. I can tuck it under the tank from the front and it stays invisible when not being used, and there's enough slack to reach a handlebar mount when needed.
