-12v marine cigarette lighter plug (any where between $5 and $15 depending on your location)

- an inline fuse holder (about $3 at wally world/napa/parts store)
- wire loom to cover the wires ($3ish bucks for a pack with about 10ft at walmart)
- a few zip ties
- and a decent location that fits your needs.

i located mine on the right side under the tour pack, mounted to one of the tour pack brackets.
