A better way to do it is hook up a battery charger pig tail to your battery. Then plug a USB cable into it and route it appropriately.
Number one, you avoid hacking into your wiring. Number two, the battery charger pig tail will come in handy to maintain your battery in winter or charge it up. Number three, doing it this way is very easy and cheap and virtually eliminates the possibility of a bad connection or a connector getting loose.

You could but that's the kind of thing that comes back to haunt you. I'd use a pig tail or direct battery connection.
