Hiyas,
Getting ready for the big, 10 day, SW USA MC camping trip. What is the easiest/cheapest way to re-charge the battery on my cell phone? I do have a 12v car adapter for the phone.
Thanks!

I purchased one of these:

and wired into my aux fuse box. I can charge my phone or any other usb device. The wires are long enough to come out at the front of the seat. It has a weatherproof cap for when not in use.

I'm assuming you have a standard BMW Aux plug on your bike, if so this could work without doing any wiring, since you asked for easy/cheap.
The problem will be you'll have to leave the ignition on to keep the circuit energized.

If you have an iPhone or something that charges via 5v USB, then Sean's suggestion would work good too with minimal work.
