I did (added Powerlets) the same to my 2007. Additionally, I placed one between my handlebars. I just removed the plastic cover plate which opened the steering column. I removed the Honda emblem and drilled a hole for the Powerlet. I ran the wiring down the steering column and under the gas tank and seat. I had previously installed a power bar under the seat for other electrical attachments, and just connected this outlet to the bar. The advantage for me with this setup is that I have added a plug to my tank bag. I can run the short pigtail from my bag to this outlet and charge my MP3 , phone, or whatever else I need to charge while riding in the bag. Since it is wired to the power bar, the power is off when the key is off.
