12v accessories outlet
Hi, am looking for a 12v outlet - i guess cigar lighter style - for an 07 fxdc (for bike to bike comms or iPod charging). don't see anything on HD site. Any ideas where to buy and where to connect on the bike? Thanks,

I have short corded on that I made from components at Radio Shack. I plug it into my heated gear harness. You can also make the harness outta stuff from Radio Shack if you don't have heated gear or a Battery Tender. I plug it in and use it to charge my phone when camping. I can drop it in a saddlebag for charging on the road.

Last bike I had I bought a twelve volt extension cord from radio shack, cut the plug off of it, hardwired it into the fusebox feed, put a 15 amp fuse in line, and ran the wire with the female end on it over into the saddlebag and let it lay in there. That way I could charge the cellphone on long trips.
Haven't done it on this bike yet, but the principle is the same. Nothing too it. Should be able to do it in 20 minutes or less.
