Default Cigarette Lighter

I did a search first but cannot find any info on adding a cigarette lighter to my sporty. I think I remember someone doing it on here. Anyways, I don't want it to power anything, so a weatherproof 12V is out. I simply want it to light cigarettes as intended. Has anyone done this, and if so, then where did you find a weatherproof cig lighter and where/how did you install it?

Thanks,

Evan

Is this what you're looking for? Still working fine after 2 years. Had to replace the removable lighter element after about 18 months, but the replacement is only about $5 at your local auto parts store.

What's wrong with a Bic? I have seen the 12V outlets the hook to your battery tendor plug for like $20.00 but don't know if a lighter element will work in it.

XL, I can't light the zippo with the wind and sometimes it just isn't convenient to pull over just to light a smoke.

You must not be a smoker. Ever tired to light a Bic in a even 20 mph breeze, much less highway speeds?

The 12V outlets for the Battery Tender plugs are only designed as power outlets, not lighter plugs.

ok, let me understand this. You want a lighter so you can light your cigarette going down the road? Can't wait for a red light? I guess that wouldn't look as cool would it?

If you are going to light a cig going down the road, then you have no place to complain about cell phones or people texting while driving.

Obviously you're just a bar hopper and/or an anti-smoker.

Try running a 10 hour day on the interstate stopping only for fuel every 180 miles, then you'll learn the tricks of having an energy bar within reach, a water bottle on the handlebars, and yes the ability to light a smoke.

None of which distracts the mind like a cell conversation.
