I put a battery charging socket on my M750, which I also use to power my Tom Tom, or my wrap around heated grips or even the pump for my airbed when I go camping.
I used a two-pin superseal connector mounted via a homemade bracket which is bolted to the top yoke, just in front of the bar clamp.
Its wired directly to the battery (its original function was purely for battery charging/tendering), so you do have to remember not to leave stuff switched on when you turn off the ignition, but that's never been a problem in practice.
When the socket isn't in use I plug it with a blanked off version of its mating half, to keep water and grime out. This dangles nearby on a bit of elastic when the socket is in use.
Of course, I then needed to modify the leads for the Tom Tom, the grip heaters and the airbed pump to take superseal connectors.
