Default My latest Mod - For Smokers Only

Sporty Cigarette Lighter

I thought some of you (smokers) would enjoy and appreciate the latest mod. I just finished on the bike. It cost less than $25 in parts from HD and another $20 for misc. parts from the local auto parts store. It works great when riding the open road and is even handy around town when not in traffic.


I ordered an ignition switch housing and coil bracket from HD. I then had to have a mounting tab, similar to the one on the right side of the stock coil bracket, welded to the coil bracket on the left side so I could attach the switch housing. Then I mounted a cig. lighter assembly from the auto parts store in the housing and wired her up.

To keep the spade terminals on the back of the lighter from contacting the frame, I cut them down and soldered the 14ga. wires directly to the shortened terminals. The lighter is wired directly back to the battery with an in-line 15 amp fuse.









What do you guys think? Pretty cool huh......

LOL that is pretty cool..But smoking in a car is one thing..on a bike?

Do you have a cell phone charger there too? kidding.

I just can't picture myself smoking while riding. My smoking has decreased since getting my N, can't get off the thing for very long.

Cool, but is it waterproof? To hell with silly cell phones, if I still smoked I'd probably be finding a way to put that on my bike too.
