Default which cigarette lighter socket?
I got a ram mount to put my garmin gps on my bars. I'm gonna put a lighter socket on the bars also so that I can also charge my phone. any preferences? I want one that clamps to the bars I guess as I don't know anywhere else it could go.

One thing I would suggest, is to make sure that you get one that has a fuse, and thr fuse is fairly easy to get to.

Here's another option:

I already had the rubber expansion insert from a boat project that I used to secure the mount in the upper left corner into an existing frame hole. I cut the mount out of about .120" plate.




Next I mounted it, but discovered the seat bumper needed some clearance, so I made a cut-out for it.




Here it is mounted and hidden.

What I use, but mine has a 5' cord. Pictured one looks like a very short cord.

You can also get them in stainless for a reasonable price at an ATV type dealer (Use 'em on my Quad and Argo for the same purpose)
