Did he really just add that to his bike? Why yes I did.

One question how can i have my connections all hooked up to the battery without it killing the Battery? Will i need a junction box or an "on-off" switch that goes in between it or something?

yes. the touring/sport touring bikes get a lot of this kinda stuff going on... my ex had a set of 5 switches that he added to his R12RT, and that ran to a FuzeBlock which was tied to the battery. Switched power for a myriad of accessories, including one switch for a cig plug like you've got

This is what I did. It all fits under my seat on the left side of the photo. There is a fused line from the battery to the relay switch which is turned on by a positive signal from the horn. From the relay power goes to the fuse block and each output (6 total) has its own fuse. the whole thing is basically a 2nd wire harness completely seperate from the bikes wire harness, the only connection is from the horn to turn the relay on.
