So, I am collecting various accessories charged by USB, mainly lights and indicators.
I would like to have a hub mounted on the bike so that I could leave them cabled up and just plug one cable to the bike when I got back to the garage.
Ideally the hub would have six ports.
The trick seems to be finding something with enough ports that would be easy to mount.
The ones that can hook to the bike battery don’t have enough ports plus I would need to get a power supply for off bike charging.
What do you guys do? Plugging in six cables at the end of every ride is a pain.
I look forward to your suggestions.
 
Not quite what you're looking for, but works for me. Built a little charging station from thin plywood, holds this, two chargers, and the timer. I hang it from garage rafter, right over where I pull in the bikes. I did paint it later, after photo was taken.

This is what I do.

It gets even more complicated when you need USB, USB-C, micro USB, and various other proprietary connectors. This is where I point out that the dynamo hub comes in handy. My GPS is so power-hungry that I can't ride 10 hours without it powering down. So, it always stays connected to the hub through a battery bank in the bar-bag and the Sinewave Revolution. Other items can also be charged while riding. It's seldom I have access to 120V outlets overnight. When I do, I take full advantage of them. It's no fun sitting somewhere waiting for items to charge unless the solar panel is out, and I can be hunting mushrooms or feeding crows, something entertaining. -https://photos.app.goo.gl/wtBkagW4fbfQxnJn7

Stay safe.
