So I finally got time to do this install. Got the stuff off Revzilla.com.
The only con to this product is that the cable was shorter than I would have liked but I got it to work. If needed you could always splice in some new wires.
If this is too in depth for some of you guys I apologize but the way I see it you can always skip steps but you can't make them up in between.
Also when I don't designate was side use the side that you want to route the cable. I used the drivers left side as I mounted it on the left side of the handlebar. Another member did a similar install recently:

Now that everything is apart, take the Powerlet outlet which comes in two pieces(top and bottom). I used the thicker of the two rubber strips that came in the pack.
Powerlet Handlebar Outlet Also Mounts Gadgets(comes with everything in the picture on the powerlet website)
Powerlet 1" RAM Mount Ball(screws onto outlet)
