Cigarette Lighter Cover?
All,
Seems my bike was delivered to me with the cigarette lighter missing. I don't smoke, so I don't "need" it. Just don't want the hole getting water in it and shorting out OR me not paying attention and putting my finger in there....
The stealership wants $ 16.80 for it. Nuts. Is there any other way to fill in the hole? Any waterproof cap or anything else that works? I am stumped.

I leave something like this
in mine. It plugs the hole and lets you charge any USB devices (Ipod, GPS, cell phone).

Just to give me some info. Did you just purchase the bike from the dealer? Was it in for service? If so, would there have been a reason to remove the lighter as in doing electrical work behind fairing? Taking it out of winter storage? Seems odd that they wouldn't just replace it and save a customer over $16 and change. Then again, if you know that you lost it, you can buy a cig lighter plug at almost any auto parts store that come with a rubber plug. Or go to a salvage yard and give the guy a couple bucks and he'll give you a cig lighter out of any car. I would assume they would be the same size.
