Default Cigarette ligter jack

Just purchased a GPS unit and was wondering if anyone had any clever ways to conceal an accessory jack so it is not out in the open. I have a fatboy with apes so I'm not mounting anything on my bars.
thanks in advance. Ken

I like this......But not the price...... It has my creative wheels turning to make something similar. Thanks for the link.

I wired a double outlet under the seat rail and ran the wires into th eleft saddlebag.&nbsp\\; That's also where the gizmo is for my LED lights and my cell charger.&nbsp\\;

Funny thing is that my new Polaris ATV has 2 outlets (1 on the bars and 1 under the seat).&nbsp\\; Too bad HD doesn't put them on a lot of their models any more.&nbsp\\;
