The one you bought in Michigan a lot slower than if you would have bought on in Ohio.

I probably bent the tabs when I plugged my GPS in there. I'm getting the cover now.

Somewhere in the past week I lost the one that came with the 10 Ultra. Never used it or pulled it out even. Got the bike in Aug 09. So four years, three months and 30,000 miles it decided to escape. Bought a new one. Now I realize that there is a cap to plug the stupid hole.

Just take a look and you'll see what I mean. Simple.

Ok, got it. Thanks

A few years ago my wife and I were out for a day trip, we stopped to eat lunch in the old section of Newport, KY. Very rough streets as a lot of old historic streets are. After lunch we had just pulled away from a stop sign and I was trying to shift from second gear. I could not shift up or down. I managed to get to a local dealer thinking my transmission must be out, after about ten minutes the tech came out and said I didn’t know you smoked Mike. It seems the lighter had come out and bounced under the shifter rod and was stuck, as I tried to shift it just bent it up and stuck it in tighter.

I changed it out to a small flash light.

Hertz, Avis and Alamo offer the best value in cigarette lighter socket covers... if you catch my drift.
