I bought a adapter at the truck spot that plugs into the lighter and has 3 lighter ports that I plug gps , ipod, gopro, and I have no problem and everything seem to work fine, I don't think that those devices draw much current.

just be careful that the device you plug into it doesn't whack into your tank when you turn the bars to the left.

a big ( long) charger might.

Good point that I didn't think of! I just wondered if that it was usable for my phone charger on long trips, and thanks for the replies.

Ya plug your phone charger and GPS into your car don't you ? Your charger/power supply reduces it down to 5 volt.
